AZFc Deletions and Spermatogenic Failure: A Population-Based Survey of 20,000 Y Chromosomes
Deletions involving the Y chromosome’s AZFc region are the most common known genetic cause of severe spermatogenic failure (SSF). Six recurrent interstitial deletions affecting the region have been reported, but their population genetics are largely unexplored. We assessed the deletions’ prevalence...
