Germ cell loss is associated with fading Lin28a expression in a mouse model for Klinefelter's syndrome
2 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Klinefelter's syndrome is a male sex-chromosomal disorder (47,XXY), causing hypogonadism, cognitive and metabolic deficits. The majority of patients are infertile due to complete germ cell loss after puberty.
