title: Absence of de novo Y-chromosome microdeletions in male children conceived through intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
abstract: Molecular screening for Y-chromosome microdeletions in 96 Spanish male children conceived through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was conducted. No microdeletions were detected; these results support the notion that de novo Y-chromosome alterations are rare and unrelated to the ICSI technique itself.
