Abstract excerpt
Deregulation of sperm nuclear protamine ratio (P1/P2) has been shown to correlate with male factor infertility in humans, but the cause of this abnormal protein expression has yet to be identified. Recent studies have shown that there is little genetic variability in the coding regions of either of the protamine gene sequences. However, these studies did not investigate the 5' or 3' non-coding regions of these...
