STUDY ON CLINICALAND GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MALE PATIENTS WITH NON-OBSTRUCTIVE AZOOSPERMIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
We examined 501 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia to evaluate clinical, subclinical, and genetic characteristics. The results show that the average age of patients in the study was 29.8 ± 5.5 years. Primary infertility accounts for the majority, with a rate of 90.3%. There was 38.6% of patients had a history of mumps orchitis. The average level of FSH, LH, Testosterone were 31.6 ± 16.5mIU/ml, 15.5 ± 10mIU/ml, 12.8 ± 7.13 nmol/l, respectively. The prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities was 30.7%. Of these, the chromosomal quantity abnormalities with Karyotype 47, XXY (Klinefelter syndrome) accounted for 27.3%. The incidence of AZF microdeletion was 13.8%. Of these, AZFc deletion was the most common at the rate of 42.1, AZFa deletion, which accounted for 2.6%, were the least prevalent, and the frequency of AZFd deletion was 5.3%. However, there was no single AZFb deletion, which combined with other AZF deletions with 34,2%.Our research shows that mumps orchitis and chromosomal abnormalities are the leading causes of azoospermia. Screening for genetic abnormalities plays an important role in infertile patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.
