Y Chromosome Microdeletion

Y Chromosome Microdeletion

The Y Chromosome Microdeletion Test is a genetic test performed to identify microscopic deletions in specific regions of the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes, with males typically possessing one X and one Y chromosome. Certain sections of the Y chromosome are crucial for the development and functionality of sperm. Microdeletions in these areas may lead to reduced fertility or infertility in men.

  • Test Name Y Chromosome Microdeletion Test
  • Sample Type Blood
  • Preparations Required No special preparation is required for this test. It can be conducted at any time of the day.
  • Report Time 6 Days

The Y Chromosome Microdeletion Test is particularly significant for men experiencing issues with fertility. The absence of these essential genetic segments can prevent normal sperm production, a condition known as azoospermia, or result in a low sperm count (oligospermia). Identifying a Y chromosome microdeletion can provide answers for unexplained male infertility and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
