摘要
Aim: Analysis of male infertility by molecular methods has increased since recognition of genetic risk factors. The AZFa, AZFb, AZFc, and gr/gr regions on the Y-chromosome can cause male infertility. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Y-chromosome microdeletions in these regions in infertile Mexican patients. Material and methods: We recruited 57 infertile patients with abnormal sperm count (26 azoospermic and 31 oligozoospermic) and 55 individuals with normal sperm count. Analysis of the regions of interest was performed by PCR. Results: 15.8% of infertile patients presented Y-chromosome microdeletions, whereas no deletions were found in the control group. Deletions were observed in all the analyzed regions except in AZFa. Additionally, the neural network model revealed a mild genotype-phenotype correlation between deletion of the sY1191, sY1291 and sY254 markers with oligozoospermia, azoospermia and cryptozoospermia, respectively. Conclusions: Our data show that AZFb, AZFc, and gr/gr microdeletions are significantly associated with infertility in Mexican population. In addition, the neural network model revealed a discrete genotype-phenotype correlation between specific deletions and a particular abnormality. Our results reinforce the importance of the analysis of AZF regions as part of the clinical approach of infertile men.
