The AZFc region of the Y chromosome: at the crossroads between genetic diversity and male infertility

BACKGROUND: The three azoospermia factor (AZF) regions of the Y chromosome represent genomic niches for spermatogenesis genes. Yet, the most distal region, AZFc, is a major generator of large-scale variation in the human genome. Determining to what extent this variability affects spermatogenesis is...
