Background: The Y chromosome microdeletions belong to the frequent genetical causes of male infertility. The aim of our study was to introduce reliable molecular genetic diagnosis of Y chromosomal microdeletions and to determine the prevalence of Y chromosomal microdeletions in Czech males with serious reproductive disorders.
Methods And Results: The Y chromosome microdeletions were screened in 198 Czech men with serious reproductive disorders with decreased sperm count. The Y chromosome microdeletions were disclosed in 8/198 (4.0%) examined males. The AZFc deletion type was revealed in 62.5% (5/8) and the combined AZFc + b microdeletion in 37.5% (3/8) of cases. Neither isolated AZFb nor AZFa microdeletion were found in any subject of the investigated group.
Conclusions: Incidence of individual types of Y chromosomal microdeletions in Czech males with serious reproductive disorders was assessed. The standardised molecular genetic diagnosis of Y chromosomal microdeletions was introduced into the practice.

Objective: Prenatal diagnosis of fetal 13q34 microdeletion is a rare condition, which may present with abnormal fetal development, including facial dysmorphism, mental retardation, and developmental delay. We present a pregnant woman in whom the fetus presented with a 0.24-cm ventricular septal defect at 20 weeks of gestation, with fetal 13q34 (113610612-115092648) deletion.

Objective: Prenatal detection of complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) is extremely rare, but is of great clinical importance, since CCR can be causative of different congenital disorders. We present an exceptionally rare case of prenatally diagnosed Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) rising as a consequence of chromothripsis involving chromosomes 5, 7 and 11 and deletion of TWIST1 gene.

Introduction: 22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) results from a microdeletion on chromosome 22 and is the most common microdeletion disorder in humans, affecting 1 in 2148 live births. Clinical manifestations vary widely among individuals and across different life stages. Effective management requires the involvement of a specialized multidisciplinary team.

Ovarian agenesis (OA) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of one or both ovaries, often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and structural deformities. The condition is frequently diagnosed in females presenting with primary amenorrhea and delayed sexual development. This case report highlights a unique presentation of bilateral ovarian agenesis in a patient with chromosome X translocation, bone modeling disease, and primary amenorrhea.
