Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the pathogenesis of a patient featuring azoospermia and steroid sulfatase deficiency.
METHODSPolymerase chain reaction (PCR), G-banded karyotyping and Illumina Human CytoSNP-12 Beadchip analysis were conducted.
RESULTSSTS sites PCR showed that there was no deletion in the AZF zone. G-banding analysis indicated an unknown structural change in chromosome X, which was verified by single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) as a 5.4 Mb deletion in Xp22.31-p22.33.
CONCLUSIONThe Xp22.31-p22.33 deletion probably underlies the Kallman syndrome and steroid sulfatase defect in the patient.
