  • Y chromosome azoospermia factor region microdeletions are not associated with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion in a Slovenian population : association study and literature review
    Pereza, Nina ...
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential association of Y chromosome microdeletions with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (IRSA) in a Slovenian population and compare our results with those ... of previously published studies in different populations, with the intention of clarifying the potential impact of Y chromosome microdeletions on IRSA. DESIGN: Case-control and association study. SETTING: Departments of gynecology and obstetrics and university-based research laboratory. PATIENT(S): Male partners of 148 couples with at least three spontaneous pregnancy losses of unknown etiology, and 148 fertile men. INTERVENTION(S): Multiplex polymerase chain reactions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Azoospermia factor (AZF) regions were tested for Y chromosome microdeletions according to European Academy of Andrology/European Molecular Genetics Quality Network guidelines. The PubMed database was searched to retrieve articles linking Y chromosome microdeletionsand susceptibility to IRSA. RESULT(S): None of the IRSA or control men had microdeletions in the AZFa, AZFb, or AZFc regions. A total of nine previous studies examined the relationship between Y chromosome microdeletions and IRSA, yielding contradictory results, which we discuss in detail. CONCLUSION(S): On the basis of our comparisons, it is unlikely that Ychromosome microdeletions contribute to IRSA and are therefore currently not recommended for the routine evaluation of IRSA couples.
