High incidence of AZF duplications in clan-structured Iranian populations detected through Y chromosome sequencing read depth analysis
Abstract The ampliconic region of the human Y chromosome consists of large duplicated sequences that can undergo non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR), resulting in structural rearrangements that may cause infertility, especially when they occur in the azoospermia factor b/c (AZFb/c) region.
