A case of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia with AZFc deletion and persistent oxidative stress.

Y-chromosomal microdeletions are associated with severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia. AZFc microdeletions have been always associated with severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia with a rare occurrence in individuals with other infertility phenotypes. We report here a rare case of an infertile man carrying AZFc deletion, whose semen picture is oligoasthenoteratozoospermia complexed with seminal oxidative stress.
