ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure discloses a method for probing the integrity of a Y chromosome utilizing multiplex PCR reactions which amplify specific regions of the human Y chromosome which have been linked to normal fertility in human males. The method is capable of detecting deletion mutations within the Y chromosome which are predictive of human male infertility. A kit containing reagents needed to practice the method is also disclosed.
