Methodology
RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) / PCR
The Molecular Genetic Y Chromosome Microdeletion test primarily utilizes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology (although the prompt mentions RT-PCR, for DNA deletions, standard PCR is usually applied directly to DNA). PCR is a highly sensitive molecular technique used to amplify specific regions of DNA. In this test, it is used to amplify multiple sequence-tagged sites (STSs) within the azoospermia factor (AZF) regions (AZFa, AZFb, AZFc) of the Y chromosome. The absence of amplification of one or more of these specific STSs indicates a microdeletion in that region. This method allows for the accurate and reliable detection of these small, submicroscopic deletions that are a common genetic cause of male infertility.
Sample Required
WB EDTA Whole Blood (WB) in EDTA Vacutainer
(A sample of whole blood collected in an EDTA vacutainer is required for this test. EDTA acts as an anticoagulant to preserve the blood sample for DNA extraction.)
