Y 染色体单倍群与西南地区男性生精障碍的相关性

摘要

男性不育中,原发无精、少精是最为重要的因素之一,核型异常和无精子症因子(Azoospermia factor,AZF) 微缺失能解释部分原发无精、少精的原因,然而还有许多致病因素尚不清楚.Y 染色体作为男性特有的染色体,与男性生殖系统的正常功能密切相关.文章主要对Y 染色体单倍群这一分子遗传背景与男性原发无精、严重 少精症之间是否存在相关性进行探讨,为进一步探索原发无精、严重少精症的遗传学致病原因提供依据和可行 的方向.采集265 名生精障碍患者(原发无精症患者193 名,原发严重少精症患者72 名)以及193 名正常男性样 本的外周血,进行核型分析和AZF 缺失分析,以排除有此两类异常的样本.将经过筛选的样本进行Y 染色体单 倍群分析,并对其单倍群分布情况进行统计分析.分析显示,生精障碍组和对照组分别在D1*、F*、K*、N1* 和O3* 上有显著性差异(P=0.032,0.022,0.009,0.009,0.017,<0.05).Y 染色体单倍群,这一Y 染色体遗传背景 与男性原发生精障碍的发生有相关性.%Idiopathic azoospermia and oligospermia are one of the most important reasons for male infertility. Abnormal karyotype and azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletion are two widely acknowledged reasons, but the most causes remain unclear. Y chromosome, as the male-specific chromosome, is closely related to the development of male reproductive system. To understand better the etiology of idiopathic azoospermia and oligospermia, we investigated the possible association between Y-haplogroup distributions and susceptibility to idiopathic azoospermia and severe oligospermia. Peripheral blood was collected from 193 men with normal reproductive history, 193 men with idiopathic azoospermia, and 72 men with idiopathic severe oligospermia. All the subjects underwent karyotyping and AZF deletion analysis to screen outrnthose with AZF deletion and abnormal karyotype. The comparison of Y-haplogroup distribution between experimental group and control group was performed with SPSS Y18.0 software. Significant difference of Y-haplogroup distribution was observed in D1*, F*, K*, N1* and O3*(P=0.032, 0.022, 0.009, 0.009, 0.017, <0.05). The results suggest that Y chromosome haplogroup plays a important role in spermatogenic impairment.
