Y Chromosome Microdeletion (16 Mutations) – Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
Y Chromosome Microdeletion (YCM) is a genetic disorder that affects the Y chromosome in males, resulting in the loss of specific genetic material. It is estimated that 1 in 500 men are affected by YCM, and it is one of the leading causes of male infertility. YCM is caused by a deletion of genetic material in the Y chromosome, specifically in the AZF (azoospermia factor) region.
Symptoms of Y Chromosome Microdeletion
The symptoms of Y Chromosome Microdeletion can vary from person to person. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. However, the most common symptom of YCM is infertility. Men with YCM may have a low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or no sperm at all. Other symptoms may include:
- Small testes
- Delayed puberty
- Growth abnormalities
- Hormonal imbalances
Diagnosis of Y Chromosome Microdeletion
Y Chromosome Microdeletion can be diagnosed through a genetic test called a Y chromosome microdeletion analysis. This test looks for 16 specific mutations in the AZF region of the Y chromosome. The test is simple and involves taking a blood sample from the patient. The cost of the test in India is around INR 8000.
If a man is diagnosed with Y Chromosome Microdeletion, he may be referred to a fertility specialist for further evaluation and treatment. Treatment options may include assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Conclusion
Y Chromosome Microdeletion is a genetic disorder that affects the Y chromosome in males and can result in male infertility. The most common symptom of YCM is infertility, but other symptoms may include small testes, delayed puberty, growth abnormalities, and hormonal imbalances. Y Chromosome Microdeletion can be diagnosed through a genetic test called a Y chromosome microdeletion analysis, which costs around INR 8000 in India.
