[Partial deletions in the AZFc region of the Y chromosome are associated with male infertility].
Microdeletion of the azoospermia factor in the Yq of the Y chromosome is one of the important causes of male infertility. Complete deletion of the AZFc region (b2/b4 deletion) is the most common type of AZF deletion. Recent studies have shown a variety of deletions of the AZFc region, including partial deletions, such as gr/gr deletion, b1/b3 deletion and b2/b3 deletion, which may also be associated with male infertility.
