Spermiogenesis and DNA Repair: A Possible Etiology of Human Infertility and Genetic Disorders
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
This paper reviews the possible origin of sperm DNA fragmentation and focuses on the nuclear events associated with spermiogenesis as a potential source of genetic instability and reduced fertilizing potential of the mature male gamete. Recent findings suggest a programmed DNA fragmentation and DNA damage response during the chromatin remodeling steps in spermatids. We also discuss the spermatid DNA repair...
