Abstract
The Y chromosome harbors a number of genes essential for testis development and function. Its highly repetitive structure predisposes this chromosome to deletion/duplication events and is responsible for Y-linked copy-number variations (CNVs) with clinical relevance. The AZF deletions remove genes with predicted spermatogenic function en block and are the most frequent known molecular causes of impaired spermatogenesis (5–10% of azoospermic and...
