Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Asthenoteratospermia with multiple morphological abnormalities in the sperm flagella (MMAF) is a significant cause of male infertility. WDR19 is a core component in the IFT-A complex and has a critical role in intraflagellar transport. However, the role of WDR19 mutations in male infertility has yet to be examined. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) for 65...
