pubmed:abstractText
A case is reported in which a high fertilization rate was achieved by conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF), using spermatozoa from an oligozoospermic man carrying a microdeletion of the long arm of the Y chromosome. The patient presented with idiopathic infertility of 10 years duration; the fertility status of his wife was completely normal. After IVF, five out of eight oocytes retrieved showed normal fertilization and four showed normal embryo cleavage. Four embryos were transferred; however, pregnancy did not result. These results demonstrate that spermatozoa from oligozoospermic patients carrying a Yq microdeletion are fully competent in achieving capacitation, acrosome reaction and fertilizing ability during IVF. Therefore, although definitive conclusions cannot be made from a single case report, we suggest that Yq microdeletion analysis should be considered in oligozoospermic patients undergoing conventional IVF.
