  • Preliminary analysis of AZFb region duplication by quantitative real-time PCR
    Writzl, Karin ; Zorn, Branko ; Peterlin, Borut, 1963-
    Background: Deletions of the AZFb region on the long arm of the human Y chromosome cause male infertility. However, the reciprocal products of these deletion events, AZFb duplications, have not been ... reported to date. Furthermore, it is not known whether potential AZFb duplications represent a risk factor for spermatogenic failure. Methods: A total of 150 patients with male idiopathic subfertility (79 non-obstructive azoospermics and 71 oligozoospermics) and 150 fertile men were analysed for deletion/duplication of the sY125 locus and of the JARIDID gene using real-time PCR. Results: Threeazoospermic men had deletion of the sY125 locus and of the JARIDID gene. No duplication was detected. Conclusions: In our limited sample, AZFb duplications do not appear to be associated with male infertility.
