Abstract
Y chromosome microdeletion tests are the basis of success IVF technique to disclose the real
problem for patients males (oligozoospermia) to reproductive treatment. The present study to
showed the relationship between microdeletion and IVF technique, then early detection of Y
chromosome microdeletion is auxiliary to venereal treatment, particularly in those young
patients with AZFc deletion. The study was used 65 patients, males (oligozoospermia ) and ten
normal males, as control. DNA was recovered and treated, which was used for Y (CMD) through
PCR SYBR Green real-time PCR for the amplification of three loci AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc
regions. Our results showed only six samples (9 %) of single micro-deletions in the Y
chromosome. Finally, the early diagnosis is very important for oligozoospermia patients whose
will undergo the IVF technique. Kew word: Y chromosome, IVF technique, SYBER Green,
Oligozoospermia.
Keywords— IVF technique, Y chromosome, DNA, Microdeletion, AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc.
I. INTRODUCTION
Y chromosome is considered the genetic cause that is
the most spread for male infertility. According to
published research, the prevalence of Y
microdeletion in infertile males is roughly 7 %, with a
range of 1-35 %. (1,2). From proximal to distal Yq, the
long arm of the Y chromosome was found to include
three AZF regions, namely AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc
(3).
The Azoospermia Factor was considered as the
second genetic reason for the spermatogenic failure
of infertile males, where treatment of that infertile
individuals' which causes in regions that represent
AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc (4).In situations with
substantially impaired spermatogenesis, a Y
chromosomal microdeletion test is recommended.
Improvements in molecular biology methods have
made regular diagnosis more accessible. However,
not all IVF clinics detect Y chromosome
microdeletions (5).The "Azoospermia Factor" (AZFa,
AZFb, and AZFc) regions are all linked to
