The purpose of this study was to apply the multiplex bead array as a diagnostic tool for male infertility. The multiplex bead array offers a new platform in high-throughput nucleic acid detection. Six loci, including sex-determining regions on the Y (SRY) chromosome as a control and five sequence-tagged sites (STS) in azoospermia-factor regions, were used in this system. Extracted genomic DNA from infertile male blood was used for multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After multiplex PCR using specific Cy3-labeled primer sets, the PCR product was hybridized with capture probes. A multiplexed PCR-liquid bead was arrayed for simultaneous detection using the Luminex system. This assay system correctly identified the presence or deletion of the Y chromosome. Therefore, this method provides a sensitive and high-throughput method for probing the deletion of the Y chromosome, and offers a completely new approach to male infertility screening.
