چکیده

Infertility affects an estimated ۸ –۱۲% of couples worldwide, with male factors being a primary or contributing cause in approximately ۵۰% of these cases. Non -obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is characterized by the absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate and represents the most severe form of male factor infertility, accounting for ۱۰% – ۱۵% of cases. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using data from the GSE۱۹۰۷۵۲ dataset available in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The DEGs were compared to a list of human chromosome Y genes obtained from literature reviews to identify overlaps (Y -DEGs). The protein -protein interaction (PPI) network, and hub gene identifications were analyzed using the STRING database and cytoHubba plugin of Cytoscape software for Y -DEGs. The top ۵ hub genes were then subjected to the ToppGene database to investigate biological processes and human -related phenotypes. The analysis identified ۱,۳۲۷ DEGs, including ۹۲۸ downregulated and ۴۴۵ upregulated genes. By comparing the DEGs with human chromosome Y genes, ۲۲ genes were identified as the final list. The top five hub genes identified from the PPI network were ZFY, CDY۲A, DDX۳Y, USP۹Y, and BPY۲. According to the ToppGene database, the human phenotypes associated with the top five genes were “Y -linked inheritance”, “Male infertility”, “Decreased fertility in males”, “Gonosomal inheritance”, and “Infertility”. The biological processes of the mentioned top five gene include “gamete generation”, “multicellular organismal reproductive process”, “sexual reproduction”, “reproductive process”, and “spermatogenesis”. The results of this study demonstrate that genes on chromosome Y are critical for normal spermatogenesis and play a significant role in male infertility.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
