Y-Microdeletions - (Outlab)
What does Y-Microdeletions - (Outlab) measure?
This genetic test evaluates the Y chromosome for small missing segments known as Y microdeletions. These changes can affect genes involved in sperm production and may be used when assessing certain causes of male infertility, particularly very low or absent sperm counts. Results may help a healthcare professional understand whether a Y-chromosome-related genetic factor is present.
