RESUMO

Genetic analysis is a critical component in the male infertility workup. For male infertility due to oligospermia/azoospermia, standard guidelines recommend karyotype and Y-chromosome microdeletion analyses. A karyotype is used to identify structural and numerical chromosome abnormalities, whereas Y-chromosome microdeletions are commonly evaluated by multiplex PCR analysis because of their submicroscopic size. Because these assays often require different Vacutainer tubes to be sent to different laboratories, ordering is prone to errors. In addition, this workflow limits the ability for sequential testing and a comprehensive test result. A potential solution includes performing Y-microdeletion and numerical chromosome analysis-the most common genetic causes of oligospermia/azoospermia-by chromosomal microarray (CMA) and reflexing to karyotype as both assays are often offered in the cytogenetics laboratory. Such analyses can be performed using one sodium heparin Vacutainer tube sample. To determine the effectiveness of CMA for the detection of clinically significant Y-chromosome microdeletions, 21 cases with known Y microdeletions were tested by CytoScan HD platform. CMA studies identified all known Y-chromosome microdeletions, and in 11 cases (52%) identified additional clinically important cytogenetic anomalies, including six cases of 46, XX males, one case of isodicentric Y, two cases of a dicentric Y, and three cases of terminal Yq deletions. These findings demonstrate that this testing strategy would simplify ordering and allow for an integrated interpretation of test results.
