The CDY2A gene, which encodes a protein implicated in chromatin modification, is part of a complex regulatory landscape, mainly related to spermatogenesis and epigenetic regulation.

### 1. Associated Genes
CDY2A is primarily found in the palindromic region of the Y chromosome and has closely related counterparts, including:
- **CDY2B:** This gene is located in the same region and shares significant homology with CDY2A, potentially contributing to similar functions in spermatogenesis.
- **DAZ (Deleted in Azoospermia):** Located in the Y chromosome, this gene is involved in spermatogenesis and may interact in pathways related to CDY2A.
- **SPACR:** Sperm-specific protein that may have roles in the same cellular processes.
