Abstract excerpt

The X-linked TAF7L gene is homologous to the autosomal transcription factor TAF7. Together with its testis-specific expression pattern, this might point to an important function in spermatogenesis. In order to analyse the involvement of the hTAF7L gene in the aetiology of male infertility, a total of 25 patients with maturation arrest of spermatogenesis have been analysed for the presence of mutations in this...
