Diagram of the human Y chromosome showing the AZF loci and associated 8 STS markers detected in this study Y chromosome microdeletion involves the complete or partial deletion of the AZF on the long arm of the Y-chromosome at the subchromosome level. The AZF region can be divided into AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc, from the proximal to the distal end in the Y chromosome. A possible AZFd region has been proposed to exist between AZFb and AZFc. The associated 8 STS markers detected in this study are as follows: AZFa (sY84 and sY86), AZFb (sY127 and sY134), AZFc (sY254 and sY255), and AZFd (sY145 and sY152)
