Y-Chromosome Microdeletion Test
Be a father by having information on if your testicles contain mature sperms for aspiration leading to IVF!
The Y-chromosome microdeletion test is a groundbreaking diagnostic tool that sheds light on the mysteries of male infertility. This advanced genetic test detects tiny deletions in the Y chromosome, which can significantly impact sperm production and quality. By analyzing specific regions of the Y chromosome such as AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc, our test identifies microscopic deficiencies that may be hindering fertility. With a simple blood or semen sample, our expert technicians can pinpoint these tiny deletions, providing valuable insights for couples struggling with infertility. By uncovering the underlying genetic causes, we empower individuals to make informed decisions about their reproductive journey, paving the way for effective treatment options and a brighter future for families-to-be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Y chromosome microdeletion test helps in identifying the missing genes in the Y chromosome which might be prevalent in Azoospermic men. This test helps in identifying one of the major disorders that might cause infertility in a man.
AZFc deletions are the most common Y chromosome microdeletions, accounting for 60% of all clinically relevant Y microdeletions.
Most cases of this condition result from new (de novo) deletions on the Y chromosome that occur during formation of sperm cells in an affected individual’s father who is not himself infertile. These cases occur in men with no history of the disorder in their family.
YCMDs are classified by regions called azoospermia factor regions (AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc). Depending on the region of the microdeletion, the outcome can range from moderate impairment of spermatogenesis to complete azoospermia.
The diagnostic testing of deletions is performed by PCR amplification of selected regions of the Y chromosome. Most of the STS primers used so far amplify anonymous sequences of the chromosome, which have been more or less precisely mapped but are not yet known to belong to specific genes.
