  1. The Table gives the number of samples obtained in different contexts (sudden death, peri-tumoral or fertility preservation) and the number of samples with 50–100 or > 100 tubules, according to group (age groups 1–7, CAIS and LCT)
  2. For CAIS, samples were obtained at therapeutic orchidectomy
  3. n = number of samples (one sample for one subject); y year, d days, m month
