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.

The Y chromosome contains a set of genes with testis-specific expression that are responsible for the development of testes and spermatogenesis, and it is the most important target in the search for genetic causes of male infertility. Most of these genes are located in the "azoospermia factor" AZF locus (regions AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc) on the long arm of the Y chromosome. Microdeletions of the Y chromosome, leading to the removal of the entire AZF locus as well as one or more regions (complete deletions), are one of the leading causes of spermatogenesis impairment and infertility.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as the spontaneous loss of two or more pregnancies before reaching viability. Diagnosis for couples with RPL usually involves only the female partner. However, it is seen that male partners contribute equally to the occurrence of spontaneous abortions as the Y chromosome harbors several genes that control spermatogenesis and the quality of sperms.

Article Synopsis
- - Y chromosome microdeletions, particularly involving the sY1192 gene, are connected to male infertility, and this study examined the effects of losing this specific region in sperm quality among 116 patients.
- - About 41.4% of cases involved sY1192-independent deletions, which showed that men losing only the sY1192 gene had a better chance of sperm detection compared to those with multiple deletions.
- - Although the fertilization and cleavage rates after ICSI were higher for men with sY1192-independent deletions, the overall pregnancy outcomes were similar to those with other types of Y chromosome microdeletions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of male infertility patients.
Method: A total of 1600 male patients with infertility, including 1300 cases of azoospermia and 300 cases of severe oligozoospermia, underwent routine semen analysis, chromosomal karyotype analysis and sex hormone level testing. The Azoospermia factor (AZF) on the Y chromosome was detected using the multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the genetic traits of a fetus exhibiting sex chromosome abnormalities detected through non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) at 25 weeks of gestation.
- The fetus was found to have a mix of chromosomal conditions, including a 45,X karyotype and deletions on the Y chromosome, confirmed through several advanced genetic tests.
- Ultimately, the diagnosis provided critical insights into the fetus's condition and led to an elected abortion, with tests verifying the genetic findings in both the fetus and placental tissue.
