目的分析35例Y染色体微缺失患者临床表型。方法按照WHO标准进行检查和精液分析,证实为非梗阻性无精子症或严重少精子症(〈1×10^6/mL)367例,然后应用改良多重多聚酶链反应(multiplex—PCR),对367例不育患者进行Y染色体微缺失分子学诊断。将微缺失患者分为两组:严重少精子组和无精子组。再按缺失类型将无精子组分为两个亚组:单纯AZFc缺失组和其它类型缺失组。采集以下临床资料进行分析:结婚年龄、不育史、精液分析、睾丸体积、附睾睾丸穿刺情况、染色体核型分析以及性激素检测。结果367例中发现AZF微缺失35例(9.54%),其中AZFa、AZFb微缺失各1例(2.86%),AZFc微缺失29例(82.86%),AZFb+c微缺失2倒(5.71%),AZFa+b+c微缺失2例(5.71%)。严重少精子患者14例,缺失类型均为AZFc;无精子症患者21例,其中对12例无精子症患者行睾丸穿刺活检,2例AZFc微缺失患者发现精子。其中未发现输精管缺如患者。染色体核型分析2例AZFc微缺失患者发现异常,其余均为46,XY。严重少精子组与无精子组患者年龄、不育年限、黄体生成素、雄激素及出生时父亲年龄无统计学差异,卵泡刺激素有统计学差异。结论 临床表型、染色体核型正常的严重少弱精子或无精子症患者可存在Y染色体微缺失,其发生率约为10%,最常见的类型为AZFc微缺失。单纯AZFc缺失对精子生成的影响比其他类型缺失较小,无精子症AZFc缺失者行睾丸穿刺活检有可能发现可用精子,AZFa、AZFb或AZFa+b+c缺失者基本不可能有精子,临床上无睾丸活检的价值。  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Y chromosome microdeletions are associated with severe male factor infertility. In this study, the success rate of testicular sperm retrieval was determined for men with deletions of AZF regions a, b or c. METHODS: AZF deletions were detected by PCR of 30 sequence-tagged sites within Yq emphasizing the AZFa, b and c regions. Semen analysis and diagnostic testis biopsy or testicular sperm extraction (TESE) findings were correlated with the specific AZF region deleted. RESULTS: A total of 78 men with AZF deletions included three with AZFa deletion, 11 with AZFb, 42 with AZFc, 16 with AZFb+c and six with Yq (AZFa+b+c). All men with AZFa, AZFb, AZFb+c and Yq deletions were azoospermic and no sperm were found with TESE or biopsy. Of men with isolated AZFc deletion, sperm were found in 75% (9/12) by TESE and 45% (9/20) on biopsy (56% overall); 62% (26/42) were azoospermic and 38% (16/42) severely oligozoospermic. A total of 7 patients with deletion patterns that included the complete AZFa region and 23 that included the complete AZFb region who underwent TESE or biopsy did not have sperm detected by these surgical measures. CONCLUSIONS: Microdeletion of the entire AZFa or AZFb regions of the Y chromosome portends an exceptionally poor prognosis for sperm retrieval, whereas the majority of men with AZFc deletion have sperm within the semen or testes available for use in IVF/ICSI.  相似文献

The Y chromosome carries several genes involved in spermatogenesis, which are distributed in three regions in the euchromatic part of the long arm, called AZFa (azoospermia factor a), AZFb, and AZFc. Microdeletions in these regions have been seen in 10-15% of sterile males with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. The relatively high de novo occurrence of these microdeletion events might be due to particular chromosome arrangements associated with certain Y chromosome haplogroups. To test whether there is any association between Y chromosome types and male infertility, we studied a sample of 84 Japanese oligozoospermic or azoospermic males. The patients were analyzed for the presence of Yq microdeletions and also typed with a battery of unique event polymorphisms (UEPs) to define their Y haplogroups. Six of the infertile patients presented likely pathological microdeletions detectable with the sequence tagged sites (STS) markers used. There was no significant association between Y chromosome haplogroups and the microdeletions. We also compared the Y haplogroup frequencies in our subset sample of 51 idiopathic azoospermia patients with 57 fertile control Japanese males, and did not observe any significant differences. Contrary to previous reports, our data suggest that Y microdeletions and other molecular events causally associated with male infertility in Japan occur independently of the Y chromosome background.  相似文献

不育男性的AZF检测与Y染色体缺失的对照分析   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
目的探讨精子发生障碍的男性不育患者AZF缺失与Y染色体缺失的临床意义。方法对616例非阻塞性无精子症或少精子症患者进行AZF的检测,同时观察G显带Y染色体的形态。结果从616例患者中检测出48例患者分别为AZFa、AZFb、AZFc或AZFb+AZFc的微缺失,但显微镜下观察不到Y染色体形态改变。另外4例患者经AZF检测,2例为AZFc+sY160缺失,1例为AZFb+AZFc+sY160缺失,1例为AZFa+AZFb+AZFc+sY160缺失,显微镜下发现Yq部分或完全缺失。25例已育男性的G-显带的Y染色体和AZF也进行对照检测,均未发现AZF的缺失,但其中1例核型分析显示Y染色体长臂部分缺失,但PCR检测仅缺失sY160,即Yq12的缺失。结论Yq11.23上7Mb的缺失在细胞水平不能分辨。q11.23+q12的缺失或仅有Yq12的缺失的Y染色体显微镜下不能区分,但后者不是精子发生障碍的病因。对男性不育精子发生障碍患者,要结合细胞遗传学和AZF分子检测综合判断。  相似文献

Substantial involvement of the Y chromosome in sexual development and spermatogenesis has been demonstrated. Over the last decade, varying extent of Y chromosome microdeletions have been identified among infertile patients with azoospermia or oligozoospermia. These microdeletions were clustered in three main regions named AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc. Analysis of the Y chromosome microdeletion was found to be of prognostic value in cases of infertility, both in terms of clinical management as well as for understanding the aetiology of the spermatogenesis impairment. However, the accumulated data are difficult to analyse, due to the variable extent of these deletions, the different sequence-tagged sites (STS) used to detect the microdeletions, and the non-uniformity of the histological terminology used by different investigators. This debate discusses the chances of finding testicular spermatozoa in men with a varying extent of Y chromosome microdeletions. The genotype and germ cell findings in men with AZFa microdeletions as well as those that include more than a single AZF region are reviewed, as is the effect of Y chromosome AZF microdeletions on the maturity of the Sertoli cells.  相似文献

Submicroscopic deletions of the Y chromosome and polymorphisms of the androgen receptor (AR) gene in the X chromosome have been observed in men with defective spermatogenesis. To further define the subregions/genes in the Y chromosome causing male infertility and its relationship to polymorphisms of the AR polyglutamine tract, we screened the genomic DNA of 202 subfertile males and 101 healthy fertile controls of predominantly Chinese ethnic origin. Y microdeletions were examined with 16 sequence-tagged site (STS) probes, including the RBM and DAZ genes, spanning the AZFb and AZFc subregions of Yq11, and related to the size of trinucleotide repeat encoding the AR polyglutamine tract. Y microdeletions were detected and confirmed in three out of 44 (6.8%) of azoospermic and three out of 86 (3.5%) severely oligozoospermic patients. No deletions were detected in any of the patients with sperm counts of >0.5 x 10(6)/ml, nor in any of the 101 fertile controls. All six affected patients had almost contiguous Y microdeletions spanning the entire AZFc region including the DAZ gene. The AZFb region, containing the RBM1 gene, was intact in five of the six subjects. Y deletions were not found in those with long AR polyglutamine tracts. Our study, the first in a Chinese population, suggest a cause and effect relationship between Y microdeletions in the AZFc region (possibly DAZ), and azoospermia or near-azoospermia. Y microdeletions and long AR polyglutamine tracts appear to be independent contributors to male infertility.   相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To establish a liquid chip technology to detect Y chromosome microdeletions in Chinese infertile males with azoospermia or oligozoospermia. METHODS: Multiplex PCR and liquid chip technology were used to detect the Y chromosome microdeletions in AZF region in 178 infertile patients with azoospermia and 134 infertile patients with oligozoospermia as well as 40 fertile control men. RESULTS: Forty out of 312 patients (12.8%) were found to have deletions in AZF region. The microdeletion frequency was 14%(25/178) in the azoospermic group, 9.6%(11/114) in the oligospermic and 20%(4/20) in the severe oligospermic group. CONCLUSION: The authors developed a high-throughput, fast and simple assay to screen the AZF region microdeletions of Y chromosome.  相似文献

Today infertility is a major health problem affecting about 10-20% of couples. A male factor is assumed to be responsible in about 50% of the infertile couples. The origin of reduced testicular sperm function is unknown in about 60-70% of cases. There are several causes of male infertility such as varicocele, spermatic duct obstruction, and endocrine disorders. Micro-deletions in the Yq are known to represent the pathogenic mechanisms for infertile males. Three different non-overlapping regions designated as AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc are located in interval 5-6 of Yq, and are associated with impaired spermatogenesis in humans. To determine the prevalence of Y chromosomal microdeletions in Venezuelan males with idiopathic infertility, chromosomal, seminal, histological and molecular analyses were carried out in 29 Venezuelan males with idiopathic azoospermia or oligoospermia. Y-microdeletions analyses were performed using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique with 22 sequences-tagged-sites (STSs). One of 29 patients (3.4%) had Yq microdeletions on AZFc. The frequency of AZF microdeletions in Venezuelan patients was similar to other populations with different ethnical or geographical origin.  相似文献

Human spermatogenesis is regulated by a network of genes located on autosomes and on sex chromosomes, but especially on the Y chromosome. Most results concerning the germ cell function of the Y genes were obtained by genomic breakpoint mapping studies of the Y chromosome of infertile patients. Although this approach has the benefit of focussing on those Y regions that contain most likely the Y genes of functional importance, its major drawback is the fact that fertile control samples were often missing. In fertile men, molecular and cytogenetic analyses of the Y chromosome has revealed highly polymorphic chromatin domains especially in the distal euchromatic part (Yq11.23) and in the heterochromatic part (Yq12) of the long arm. In sterile patients cytogenetic analyses mapped microscopically visible Y deletions and rearrangements in the same polymorphic Y regions. The presence of a Y chromosomal spermatogenesis locus was postulated to be located in Yq11.23 and designated as AZoospermia Factor (ZF). More recently, molecular deletion mapping in Yq11 has revealed a series of microdeletions that could be mapped to one of three different AZF loci: AZFa in proximal Yq11 (Yq11.21), AZFb and AZFc in two non‐overlapping Y‐regions in distal Yq11 (Yq11.23). This view was supported by the observation that AZFa and AZFb microdeletions were associated with a specific pathology in the patients' testis tissue. Only AZFc deletions were associated with a variable testicular pathology and in rare cases AZFc deletions were even found inherited from father to son. However, AZFc deletions were found with a frequency of 10–20% only in infertile men and most of them were proved to be “de novo”, i.e. the AZFc deletion was restricted to the patient's Y chromosome. Based mainly on positional cloning experiments of testis cDNA clones and on the Y chromosomal sequence now published in GenBank, a first blueprint for the putative gene content of the AZFc locus can now be given and the gene location compared to the polymorphic DNA domains. This artwork of repetitive sequence blocks called AZFc amplicons raised the question whether the AZFc chromatin is still part of the heterochromatic domain of the Y long arm well known for its polymorphic extensions or is decondensed and part of the Yq11.23 euchromatin? We discuss also the polymorphic DAZ gene family and disclose putative origins of its molecular heterogeneity in fertile and infertile men recently identified by the analyses of Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) in this AZFc gene locus.  相似文献

IntroductionInfertility is a burning problem in gynecological, andrological, endocrine and genetic practice. Of the myriad factors responsible for male infertility, which may be manifested as oligozoospermia or azoospermia, the exact causes of the latter are still unknown or debatable. Among the known parameters, the occurrence of microdeletions in the long arm of the Y chromosome are of great importance, as they have been consistently associated with defects in spermatogenesis. The microdeletions of the Y chromosome have been mapped to three regions in interval 6 named azoospermia factor regions (AZF), AZFa, AZFb and AZFc.MethodsIn the present study 80 males suffering from oligozoospermia or azoospermia were taken from both rural and urban infertility clinics and subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of DNA from blood samples using a total of 11 STS primers. These primers correspond to different segments of the AZF regions (AZFa, AZFb and AZFc) and are known as Sequence Tagged Sites (STS). This was followed by agar gel electrophoresis to look for deletions in the AZF regions corresponding to the STF primers.ResultThese tests were able to detect microdeletions in the long arm of the Y chromosome in 4 patients.DiscussionIn majority of patients PCR detects no abnormality but in cases having microdeletions, appropriate advice could be given to the patients. These patients were told to avoid the use of their sperm in assisted reproduction procedures and accept the use of donor sperm or adoption procedures as a solution to their problems of infertility.  相似文献

A retrospective study to detect specific Y chromosome microdeletions and to evaluate sperm ultrastructural characteristics in infertile men was set up. We selected 219 infertile men referred to Regional Referral Center for Male Infertility, Siena, Italy for semen analysis from January 1999 to April 2004. Family history, lymphocyte karyotype determination, Y microdeletion screening, physical examination, hormonal assays, semen analysis were carried out. Sperm concentration and progressive motility, ultrastructural analysis of sperm organelles, PCR amplification of sequence tagged sites for Y microdeletion screening were performed. Different Y-chromosome deletions were found, mainly in the AZFb and AZFc regions. Severe alterations of sperm ultrastructure, affecting whole sperm population, were detected in carriers of Y-deletions. Our data confirms the highest frequency of Y deletions in azoospermic patients. In all other patients with Y microdeletions, sperm ultrastructural defects affected the whole sperm population and were mainly related to apoptosis or immaturity.  相似文献
