Y-Chromosome Microdeletion Analysis near me in Gurgaon

Y-Chromosome Microdeletion Analysis is a specialized genetic blood test that helps detect abnormalities in the Y chromosome gene. The absence of a single or multiple genes in the Y chromosome can lead to a genetic condition called Y chromosome deletion. This disorder affects sperm production and maturation and decreases the sperm count in males leading to infertility.

This analysis plays an important role in assessing male infertility, particularly in males who are producing no sperm or a lesser number of sperm cells, and no other cause is found. In some cases, the sperm cells may be abnormal in shape as well.

The test may be recommended when the cause of infertility is unknown; Y-Chromosome Microdeletion Analysis can shed light on underlying genetic factors. For individuals undergoing testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the results can help in making informed decisions.

Note: This assay will not detect all of the causes of infertility or azoospermia.
