Y chromosome gene deletions causing male infertility (azoospermia).
Deletion of the DAZ cluster of genes on the Y chromosome are a common cause of spermatogenesis failure (azoospermia). The size and gene content of the deletions is associated with the clinical outcome for the patient. Determining the presence and genomic location of these deletions assists in determining the appropriate modes of reproductive assistance for patients.
