Abstract:
Objective To study the characteristics of molecular genetics of karyotype 46,XY,t(Y;1)(q12;p33) in a male azoospermia patient.
Methods Chromosome specimens were prepared with routine method and karyotypes were analyzed using G-banding.
Results A translocation of the short arm of chromosome 1 and the long arm of chromosome Y was observed in the patient.
Conclusion Azoospermia is caused by the translocation of chromosomes Y and 1.It is one of the important reasons for sterility in those carrying abnormal karyotypes of chromosomes Y and 1.
