Test Code:
MDY002
Test Description
Y chromosome microdeletions are typically characterized by azoospermia, severe to moderate oligospermia, or abnormal sperm morphology/motility in men with a normal physical evaluation. Assisted reproductive techniques are contraindicated for men carrying AZFa, AZFb, AZFbc or AZFabc microdeletions, which are classically associated with spermatogenic failure.
Indications for Testing
Use to determine the cause of infertility in men with nonobstructive azoospermia or moderate or severe oligospermiaAids in predicting effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies in men with specific Y chromosome microdeletions
Condition Description
PCR amplification of sequence-tagged-sites (STS) in the three regions of Y chromosome.
Test Methods and Limitations
PCR amplification of sequence-tagged-sites (STS) in the three regions of Y chromosome.
