Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gonadotropin-regulated testicular RNA helicase (GRTH) is a testis-specific RNA helicase that is essential for completion of spermatogenesis and is involved in pathogenesis of impaired spermatogenesis in mouse. It is therefore reasonable to postulate that human GRTH gene may also play a role in impaired spermatogenesis in humans. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the possible association between...
