Abstract excerpt
Human infertility is often classified as idiopathic in both males and females. Meiotic errors may account for at least part of these cases. As the synaptonemal complex (SC, a meiosis-specific protein scaffold) is essential for successful meiosis progression, in this paper, we analyzed the mutations in genes coding for SC components described in infertile patients to assess to what extent alterations in the SC can...
