Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate whether defects in human PRDM9, CDK2 and PSMC3IP are associated with azoospermia Mutational analysis was performed in Japanese patients with azoospermia caused by meiotic arrest. METHODS: Mutational screening of the coding regions of human PRDM9, CDK2 and PSMC3IP was done by direct sequencing using genomic DNA from 18 Japanese patients. Statistical analysis of the detected coding single...
