Transmissible microdeletion of the Y-chromosome encompassing two DAZ copies, four RBMY1 copies, and both PRY copies  Ingrid Plotton, M.D., Ph.D., Claude Ducros, Michel Pugeat, M.D., Ph.D., Yves Morel, M.D., Ph.D., Hervé Lejeune, M.D., Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 94, Issue 7, Pages 2770.e11-2770.e16 (December 2010) DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.04.038 Copyright © 2010 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA digested by EcoRI, using 32P-labelled RBMY1 intron 9 probe. M1, 2, 3 = fertile male controls; AZFb = AZFb microdeletion (P5-proximal P1); Case = oligospermic patient; Son = patient's son; F = female. The estimated size of each band is indicated in kb.

Figure 2 Partial AZFb and -c microdeletion. Gray boxes indicate deleted regions. (A) AZFb and AZFc regions; (B) palindromes and inverted repeats; (C) amplicon map, STS, and gene location according to the reference Y sequence; and (D) amplicon map, STS, and gene location according to the hypothesis of an associated g1-g3 inversion.
