ABSTRACT
Y chromosome deletion and karyotype abnormalities are commonly associated with congenital non-obstructive azoospermia, impairing spermatogenesis. Specifically, the deletion of the Y chromosome Azoospermia factor a (AZFa) has been identified in infertile males with severely impaired spermatogenesis. AZFa, encompassing megabase-scale of the Y chromosome region, poses challenges in modeling AZFa deletion-related male infertility using gene editing tools. Here, we successfully created an AZFa-deleted human embryonic stem cell line utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool. Our analysis indicates the AZFa-deleted stem cell line holds promise for differentiation into ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, highlighting its potential for further comprehensive study.
