Glucagon test in insulinoma: Is it useful?

abstract：:The DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) gene family is considered the major AZFc ("azoospermia factor" c) candidate responsible for male infertility. However, other genes have been recently mapped to this region and they could contribute to the AZFc phenotype. In particular, the testis-specific CDY1 (chromadomain protein 1) ...
