However, it is not known whether Yq microdeletions are unique to men with azoospermia or whether they are also observed in infertile men with less severe defects of spermatogenesis (oligozoospermia). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Yq deletions in infertile men with idiopathic oligozoospermia DN A was extracted from blood lymphocytes of 45 oligozoospermic men (sperm densities %> http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-875-en.pdf %P 119-125 %& 119 %!
