DIAGNOSIS OF GENETIC FORMS OF AZOOSPERMIA

AIM: To identify the main genetic causes of azoospermia. METHODS. The study included 92 patients with azoospermia. In all patients we carried out genetic tests - karyotyping, PCR-diagnosis of blood. RESULTS. Genetic disorders were found in 35 (38%) men. Of these, the majority of men were with Kleinfelter syndrome - 21 (60%) and deletions in the AZF regions of the Y chromosome - 11 (31.4%).
