Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the genetic factors responsible for asthenozoospermia, which is a major cause of male infertility characterized by immotile and malformed spermatozoa. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing was performed in two brothers from a family with asthenozoospermia to identify pathogenic variants. The functional effect of the identified variant was investigated in HEK293T cells using a minigene assay....
