Recurrent submicroscopic losses or gains cause MMS, some of which also impact reproductive phenotypes, including cryptorchidism and reduced fertility.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study investigated the proportion of undiagnosed MMS among idiopathic male infertility cases. Patients with unexplained low total sperm counts (TSC; defined as \u226439 million sperm per ejaculate) were recruited to the ESTonian ANDrology (ESTAND) cohort at the Andrology Clinic of Tartu University Hospital (AC-TUH) in Estonia. A total of 504 men were included in the analysis, and the study capitalized on available whole-exome sequencing (WES) data to explore large (&amp;gt;500\u2009kb) chromosomal deletions and duplications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Copy number variant (CNV) calling was executed on the WES dataset, followed by a stringent, custom-developed filtering pipeline that retained only high-confidence CNVs larger than 500\u2009kb. Candidate CNVs were validated by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) or whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Prevalence of identified MMS-linked deletions and duplications in the ESTAND cohort was compared to general population literature data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of nine patients (1.8%) carried losses and gains linked to clinically well-characterized MMS\u2014recurrent microdeletions at 16p11.2 (two cases), 2q13-14.1, and 15q13.2-13.3, and microduplications at 22q11.21 (three cases), 16p11.2, and 8p23.1. The total burden of MMS among infertile men was \u223c2.5-fold higher compared to the general population (P\u2009=\u20090.01, \u03c72 test). Cryptorchidism was a novel shared feature among all individuals with 16p11.2 rearrangements, suggesting a potential role in disrupting testicular development. Three subjects with MMS-linked microduplications, but none with a microdeletion, had achieved biological fatherhood. An oligozoospermia case (TSC 1.92\u2009\u00d7\u2009106\/ej.) with 16p11.2 duplication had a naturally conceived child in youthhood. For two men carrying 22q11.21 duplication (TSC 0 and 4.2\u2009\u00d7\u2009106\/ej., respectively), implementation of ARTs\u2013ICSI with or without preceding testicular sperm aspiration\u2014resulted in successful conception and childbirth. Evidence for a plausible link to male gonadal development and function has been reported for MAZ and KCTD13 at 16p11.2, and LZTR1 at 22q11.21. As an additional finding, a novel \u223c3.8\u2009Mb microduplication at 3p25.1 was identified in an oligozoospermia patient and his azoospermic son, conceived naturally at the age of 28\u2009years. This region encompasses a triplosensitive gene, NR2C2, linked to affected meiosis and oligozoospermia in mouse models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WES may not detect all structural variations, such as inversions or balanced translocations. As some MMS CNVs were only identified in singleton cases (8p23.1 duplication, 2q13-14.1 and 15q13.2-13.3 deletions), the link to male infertility could not be clarified. Further data are needed about the novel large 3p25.1 microduplication to understand its effect on spermatogenesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The yield of identified MMS in idiopathic cases with low sperm counts (\u223c2%) was close to the carriership of Y-chromosome microdeletions, tested in routine infertility workup. Early identification of MMS can inform genetic counselling regarding congenital health risks to the patient and future offspring and options for decision-making in ART.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was supported by the Estonian Research Council (Grant number PRG1021 to M.L.).
