Abstract

To establish the frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions in an unselected group of infertile Croatian men. An unselected group of 105 patients (male partners of infertile couples), both with idiopathic and non-idiopathic infertility, consecutively referred to the outpatient infertility clinic, gynecology department, General Hospital Pula, Istria County, Croatia, was examined for the presence or absence of Y chromosome microdeletions by polymerase chain reaction analysis. One of the 105 men (0.95%, 95% CI = 0.17-5.2%) was found to have a microdeletion. A low frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions was found in the group of unselected infertile Croatian men.
