What is Y Chromosome Microdeletion (16 Mutations)?

This genetic test specifically looks for small deletions (microdeletions) on the Y chromosome, focusing on 16 known mutations. These deletions are a significant genetic cause of male infertility.

Why is this test important?

Identifying Y chromosome microdeletions helps determine the genetic basis of male infertility, especially in men with low sperm count or azoospermia. The results guide reproductive counseling and potential fertility treatment options.

How to Prepare
