Y-CHROMOSOME MICRODELETION DETECTION PCR
Also Known As:
Y Chromosome Microdeletion
Y Chromosome Microdeletion (only Males) Blood
About This Test
Y chromosome microdeletions involving some or all of the Azoospermic factor (AZF) region are the most frequently identified cause of spermatogenic failure in chromosomally normal men with non-obstructive azoospermia (3%-15%) or severe oligospermia (6%-10%). The relative frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions makes the evaluation for them an important aspect of the diagnostic work up in infertile males, specially those with azoospermia or severe oligospermia.

The Y-Chromosome Microdeletion Detection (PCR) test is important because it helps identify genetic causes of male infertility, guides treatment decisions, and prevents inheritance of infertility to future generations.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
