8.5 Mb deletion at distal 5p in a male ascertained for azoospermia.

We report on a 5p- azoospermic male not showing the clinical features diagnostic for the cri-du-chat syndrome but for a breathy, raspy voice. The 5p deletion breakpoint, determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with BAC clones, maps 8.5 Mb far from the short arm telomere in 5p15.
