Abstract: | Sixteen sequence-tagged sites (STSs) were combined in five amplification reactions, to screen for deletions of DNA fragments located within the AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions of the Y chromosome. This multiplex strategy is fast and reliable, and most of the azoospermia-associated deletions reported so far are detected with this simplified method. Internal control STSs are included that allow discrimination between deletion and failure of amplification. |
