  • MARKERS OF ALTERATIONS IN THE Y CHROMOSOME AND USES THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20090087855
    Abstract: Novel sequence tagged sites (STSs), probes and primers useful, e.g., for detecting the presence or absence of an STS in a sample, and methods of using these STSs, probes and primers, e.g., in methods of detecting alterations in the Y chromosome are disclosed. These compositions are also useful in methods of diagnosing or aiding in the diagnosis and/or cause of reduced sperm count and in methods of predicting or aiding in the prediction of the likelihood of success of infertility treatments.

  • Reproduction-specific genes
    Publication number: 20020081592
    Abstract: Reproduction-specific nucleic acid molecules, particularly those that are indicative of or associated with infertility in men, proteins encoded by these reproduction-specific nucleic acid molecules and antibodies that bind such proteins are described. Also described are variant reproduction-specific genes and proteins, and antibodies which bind such proteins, as well as methods of using the reproduction-specific genes, proteins and antibodies and methods of using the variant reproduction-specific genes, proteins and antibodies.

  • Genes in the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome
    Patent number: 6103886
    Abstract: Genes of the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome, which fall into two classes: X-homologous DNA which is expressed in many organs and has functional X homologs and testis-specific DNA.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 15, 2000
    Assignee: Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research
    Inventors: Bruce T. Lahn, David C. Page
  • DAZ: a gene family associated with azoospermia
    Patent number: 6020476
    Abstract: A small family of novel genes referred to as the DAZ gene family, present in interval 6D and/or 6E of the distal portion of the long arm of the human Y chromosome and on human chromosome 3. Alteration of a DAZ gene present in interval 6D and/or 6E of the distal portion of the long arm of the human Y chromosome is associated with reduced sperm count. Methods of diagnosis and treatment utilizing a DAZ gene, and antibodies that bind to the protein encoded by said genes.
