Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Are sequence variants in the stromal antigen 3 (STAG3) gene a cause for non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in infertile human males? SUMMARY ANSWER: Sequence variants affecting protein function of STAG3 cause male infertility due to meiotic arrest. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: In both women and men, STAG3 encodes for a meiosis-specific protein that is crucial for the functionality of meiotic cohesin...
