Dpy19l2-deficient globozoospermic sperm display altered genome packaging and DNA damage that compromises the initiation of embryo development
29 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
We recently identified the DPY19L2 gene as the main genetic cause of human globozoospermia. Non-genetically characterized cases of globozoospermia were associated with DNA alterations, suggesting that DPY19L2-dependent globozoospermia may be associated with poor DNA quality. However the origins of such defects have not yet been characterized and the consequences on the quality of embryos generated with...
