METHODS: Using real-time quantitative PCR, we compared the results of the six-STS (sY84, sY86, sY127, sY134, sY254, sY255) scheme with those of the eight-STS (sY84, sY86, sY127, sY134, sY254, sY255, sY145, sY152) scheme in detecting Y chromosome microdeletions.
RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found in the detection rate of the deletion of the azoospermia factor (AZF) regions between the six-STS and eight-STS methods (9.34% [575/6177] vs 8.85% [542/6122], P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Though the eight-STS scheme increased the detection of AZFd, its detection rate of the AZF region deletion was not significantly different from that of the six-STS method. From the perspectives of experimental operation, economic cost and clinical strategy guidance, the six-STS is better than the eight-STS scheme for the detection of Y chromosome microdeletions.
