Transition nuclear proteins (TNP1 and TNP2) are the major nuclear proteins that replace somatic histones during spermatogenesis. TNPs are required for the maintenance of normal spermatogenesis. Moreover, spermatogenesis was found to be compromised in both Tnp1 and Tnp2 null mice. As no study is available on the role of these genes in Indian infertile men, we have sequenced the entire TNP1 and TNP2 genes in 320...
