Description: The Y Chromosome Deletion Detection System, Version 2.0,<br />
provides a standardized screening panel amplifying only informative nonpolymorphic<br />
sequence tag sites (STS) on the human Y chromosome. The system<br />
amplifies key functional regions associated with AZoospermia Factor (AZF),<br />
namely the regions that flank AZFa and cover AZFb, AZFc, AZFd including DAZ,<br />
KAL-Y, SMCY and flanking loci for other key spermatogenesis-related genes<br />
(namely RBM1, DFFRY and DBY).<br />
Five Multiplex Master Mixes, with a total of 20 characterized Y-specific primer<br />
pairs, are included. Four of the multiplex primer sets contain a control primer<br />
pair that amplifies a fragment of the X-linked SMCX locus. One of the multiplex<br />
primer sets (Multiplex E Master Mix) contains a control primer pair that amplifies<br />
a unique region in both male and female DNA (ZFX/ZFY). Finally, a primer<br />
pair that amplifies a region of the SRY gene has been included in Multiplex E<br />
Master Mix as a control for the testis-determining factor on the short arm of the<br />
Y chromosome to detect XX males arising from Y to X translocations.<br />
The Multiplex Master Mixes are designed to facilitate the simultaneous amplification<br />
of several different regions of the Y chromosome. The amplification<br />
products (83–496bp) of the five multiplex PCR amplifications can be clearly<br />
separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium bromide<br />
staining.<br />
Failure to amplify specific regions of the Y chromosome is indicative of Y<br />
chromosome deletions in the test sample. The size control ladder provided<br />
minimizes analysis time and the possibility of misinterpreting molecular weight<br />
of amplification products.<br />
Features:<br />
• Ease of Use: Premixed Multiplex Master Mixes contain 20 primer pairs,<br />
including internal controls providing a standardized panel of results requiring<br />
no user optimization.<br />
• More Robust Reactions: Improved formulation and use of GoTaq ® DNA<br />
Polymerase minimizes dropouts.<br />
• Flexibility: Amplify genomic DNA purified using various methods and with<br />
a PE480 (oil overlay) or PE9600/9700 (non-oil overlay) thermal cycler.<br />
• Complete System: All required reagents are provided in the kit.<br />
Storage Conditions: Store at –20°C.<br />
