title: GR/GR deletions within the azoospermia factor c region on the Y chromosome might not be associated with spermatogenic failure.
abstract: No statistically significant difference in deletion frequency was found between infertile patients and a control group. It is suggested that in some populations the gr/gr deletion might be an inconsequential polymorphism.
