Aim:
To establish the frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions in an unselected group of infertile Croatian men.
Methods:
An unselected group of 105 patients (male partners of infertile couples), both with idiopathic and non-idiopathic infertility, consecutively referred to the outpatient infertility clinic, gynecology department, General Hospital Pula, Istria County, Croatia, was examined for the presence or absence of Y chromosome microdeletions by polymerase chain reaction analysis.
Results:
One of the 105 men (0.95%, 95% CI = 0.17-5.2%) was found to have a microdeletion.
Conclusion:
A low frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions was found in the group of unselected infertile Croatian men.

Chromosome Duplication
The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, consisting of DNA wrapped around octameric histone proteins and short stretches of linker DNA separating individual nucleosomes. The histone proteins within the nucleosome have their...

Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
