- W2085331328 abstract "Deletions of the azoospermia factors on the Y chromosome long arm are an important cause of male infertility, and they may involve germ cell-specific genes or ubiquitously expressed genes. To date, no clinical or hormonal parameters have yet been found to distinguish patients with and without Yq microdeletions. In particular, Sertoli cell function, as evaluated by inhibin B, has not yet been described. Our hypothesis was that microdeletions involving genes specifically expressed in germ cells should not alter Sertoli cell function. To do this, we have evaluated the testicular hormonal function in infertile patients affected by severe testiculopathies with and without Yq microdeletions, with particular emphasis on Sertoli cell function. We studied 102 well-characterized infertile patients; 27 had Yq microdeletions, and 75 were classified as idiopathic infertiles. Patients with Yq microdeletions had lower FSH and higher inhibin B plasma concentrations with respect to patients without microdeletions, suggesting that Sertoli cell function in Yq-deleted men is only partially altered. Furthermore, patients with deletions involving germ cell-specific genes had higher concentrations of inhibin B with respect to patients with deletions of ubiquitously expressed genes. These results suggested that a specific alteration of germ cells only partially influences Sertoli cell function. Hormonal status of patients without deletions suggested that in such cases the cause that has determined the spermatogenic defect may have damaged both Sertoli and germ cells. Inhibin B production in patients with Yq deletions was about 70% higher than the nondeleted patients, and the functional relationship between FSH and inhibin B was normally preserved. This study elucidated the multifactorial mechanisms underlying spermatogenic defects, where Sertoli cells may be normally functioning or damaged depending on the primary cause that has determined the testicular damage." @default.
