Y CHROMOSOME MICRODELETION PCR FOR 30 MUTATIONS

Description

Y chromosome microdeletion PCR for 30 mutations is a genetic test used to identify deletions within the Y chromosome, specifically in the azoospermia factor (AZF) regions, which are associated with male infertility. This test is typically performed using multiplex PCR, amplifying multiple DNA fragments simultaneously, to detect deletions at 30 different sequence-tagged sites (STS) markers within the AZF regions (AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc).
