Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved Nanos gene was found to encode a translational repressor necessary for germ-cell development in lower organisms. The mammalian homologue, Nanos2, was recently found to be expressed in the mouse germ cells. Since its disruption caused infertility exclusively in males, we sought to study the significance of this gene in human male reproduction. Here, we describe for the first time the...
