The large number of repetitive sequences and palindrome structure of the Y chromosome play an important role in maintaining the stability of male sex determining genes, although they can also cause non-allelic homologous recombination within the chromosome. Deletion of certain Y chromosome sequences will lead to spermatogenesis disorders and male infertility. And Y chromosome genes are also involved in the occurrence of reproductive system cancers and can increase the susceptibility of other tumors. In addition, the Y chromosome has very special value in the personal identification and parentage testing of male-related cases in forensic medicine because of its unique paternal genetic characteristics. In view of the extremely high frequency and complexity of gene rearrangements and the limitations of sequencing technology, the analysis of Y chromosome sequences and the study of Y-gene function still have many unsolved problems. This article will introduce the structure and repetitive sequence of the Y chromosome, summarize the correlation between Y chromosome various sequence deletions and male infertility for understanding the repetitive sequence of Y chromosome more systematically, in order to provide research motivation for further explore of the molecules mechanism of Y-deletion and male infertility and theoretical foundations for the transformation of basic research into applications in clinical medicine and forensic medicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2022.831338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]],"date-time":"2022-07-13T09:35:57Z","timestamp":1657704957000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Repetitive DNA Sequences in the Human Y Chromosome and Male Infertility"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qianqian","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e97227","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0097227","article-title":"High-Throughput Screening for Spermatogenesis Candidate Genes in the AZFc Region of the Y Chromosome by Multiplex Real Time PCR Followed by High Resolution Melting Analysis","volume":"9","author":"Alechine","year":"2014","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"890","DOI":"10.1111\/and.12527","article-title":"Analysis of Partial Azoospermia Factor C Deletion and DAZ Copy Number in Azoospermia and Severe Oligozoospermia","volume":"48","author":"Alimardanian","year":"2016","journal-title":"Andrologia"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2714","DOI":"10.3390\/cells9122714","article-title":"Dark Matter of Primate Genomes: Satellite DNA Repeats and Their Evolutionary Dynamics","volume":"9","author":"Ahmad","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cells"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19798","DOI":"10.1038\/srep19798","article-title":"Gr\/gr deletions on Y-chromosome correlate with male infertility: an original study, Meta-Analyses and trial sequential analyses","volume":"6","author":"Bansal","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-genom-091212-153417","article-title":"Translational Genetics for Diagnosis of Human Disorders of Sex Development","volume":"14","author":"Baxter","year":"2013","journal-title":"Annu.
