Partial deletions of the DAZ gene cluster are thought to cause spermatogenesis impairment. The presence of homologous copies of this gene in the Y chromosome does not allow PCR to be used for the identification of this abnormality. Hence, sequence family variants (SFV), following amplification of sY581, sY587 and sY586 and subsequent enzymatic digestion with Sau3A, DraI and TaqI, respectively, and the dual fiber fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been used to this aim. However, SFV… CONTINUE READING
