false deletions were excluded (n=9).
§
in 11 cases no information about the semen phenotype was given by the laboratories. Subjects with known semen phenotypes were divided into two major categories (normal or abnormal sperm) and further divided in subcategories.
Abbreviations: del=deletion; dupl=duplication; ampl=amplification ; AZ=azoospermic ; OZ=oligozoospermic ; normo=normospermic; AT=Astheno and /or Teratospermic; TOT1=normo plus pure AT; TOT2= AZ plus OZ.
