Frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions in Armenian infertile men

https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2020.11.54-57

Abstract

The long arm of the Y chromosome microdeletions are common genetic cause of male infertility, related with azoospermia and oligozoospermia. The frequency of various Y-chromosome microdeletions can vary significantly in different ethnic groups and have certain features. The aim of the presented research is to determine the frequency and spectrum of AZF (azoospermia factor) microdeletions in infertile men of Armenian nationality, in order to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic measures using assisted reproductive technologies.
