Table 4.

Comparison of the frequency of gr/gr deletion, partial AZFc duplications and DAZ dosage alteration between TGCT patients and control subjects (total and subgroups based on total sperm count: normozoospermia vs. non-normozoospermia)

p-value of 0.025 was considered statistically significant, after Bonferroni correction, significant values are reported in bold

aAnalysis for partial AZFc duplications were performed in 1424 subjects
