The Y Chromosome Microdeletion 16 Mutations Test is a specialized genetic examination designed to identify specific deletions within the Y chromosome, which can be a significant factor in male infertility. This test targets the detection of 16 critical mutations that are associated with various reproductive and developmental issues in males. Such microdeletions on the Y chromosome can lead to conditions ranging from reduced sperm count (oligospermia) to a complete absence of sperm (azoospermia), making this test an essential tool in diagnosing and understanding male infertility problems.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a reputable facility known for its advanced genetic testing services, the test offers a comprehensive analysis of the Y chromosome to uncover any potential deletions that could be impacting fertility. The cost of the Y Chromosome Microdeletion 16 Mutations Test is set at 1500 AED, reflecting the intricate processes and precise technology employed to deliver accurate and reliable results.

By opting for this test, individuals can gain valuable insights into their genetic makeup, facilitating informed decisions regarding their reproductive health and potential treatments or interventions. DNA Labs UAE ensures confidentiality and support throughout the testing process, making it a preferred choice for those seeking detailed genetic analysis in the region.

Test Details

Y chromosome microdeletion refers to the loss of a small portion of genetic material on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is responsible for determining male sex characteristics and fertility.

There are several different regions on the Y chromosome that can be affected by microdeletions, and each region is associated with specific genes. One of the most well-known regions is the AZF (azoospermia factor) region, which is divided into three sub-regions: AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc. These sub-regions contain genes that are essential for normal sperm production.

There are 16 known mutations or microdeletions associated with Y chromosome microdeletion, each affecting a specific region on the Y chromosome. These include:

  1. AZFa: This microdeletion affects the genes in the AZFa region and is associated with severe spermatogenic failure, leading to azoospermia (absence of sperm in the ejaculate).
  2. AZFb: This microdeletion affects the genes in the AZFb region and is also associated with severe spermatogenic failure and azoospermia.
  3. AZFc: This microdeletion affects the genes in the AZFc region and is the most common type of Y chromosome microdeletion. It is associated with a range of spermatogenic defects, including oligozoospermia (low sperm count) and azoospermia.
  4. AZFd: This microdeletion affects a small portion of the AZFc region and is less common than other AZF deletions. Its clinical significance is not fully understood.
  5. Other AZF deletions: There are several other rare microdeletions that affect specific genes within the AZF region, such as AZFb+c and AZFb+d.
  6. Other non-AZF deletions: Some microdeletions affect genes outside the AZF region, such as DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) and RBMY (RNA-binding motif on the Y chromosome). These deletions can also lead to spermatogenic defects and male infertility.

Y chromosome microdeletions are typically diagnosed through genetic testing, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. Understanding the specific type and location of the microdeletion can help determine the prognosis and potential treatment options for individuals affected by these mutations.
