Intracytoplasmic sperm injection may lead to vertical transmission, expansion, and de novo occurrence of Y-chromosome microdeletions in male fetuses.
Y-chromosome microdeletion in male fetuses conceived by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was screened by polymerase chain reaction for sequence-tagged sites in azoospermia factor (AZF)-b and AZFc regions. Treatment with ICSI may lead to vertical transmission, expansion, and de novo Y-chromosome microdeletion in male fetuses.
