Evaluation of chromosomal abnormalities and Y-chromosome microdeletions in 1696 Turkish cases with primary male infertility : A single-center study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of chromosomal abnormalities and Y-chromosome microdeletions in Turkish cases with primary male infertility in a single center.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Chromosomal abnormalities and Y-chromosome microdeletions were investigated in 1696 cases with primary male infertility between 2012 and 2017. Karyotype analyzes and Y-chromosome microdeletions analyzes [azoospermia factor (AZF) regions] were performed in all cases by using standard cytogenetic methods and the multiplex polymerase chain reaction method, respectively.

RESULTS: Chromosomal abnormalities were found in 142 cases (8.4%; 142/1696). Y-chromosome microdeletions were detected in 46 cases (2.7%; 46/1696). Y-chromosome microdeletions in the AZFc region were found in 20 of 46 cases (43%).

CONCLUSION: This study is one of the few were a large number of cases was studied in Turkey. It indicates that cytogenetic and Y-chromosome microdeletion studies should be conducted in cases with primary male infertility prior to selecting assisted reproductive techniques.
