Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Can whole-exome sequencing (WES) reveal pathogenic mutations in two consanguineous Pakistani families with infertile patients? SUMMARY ANSWER: A homozygous spermatogenesis associated 22 (SPATA22) frameshift mutation (c.203del), which disrupts the interaction with meiosis specific with OB-fold (MEIOB), and a MEIOB splicing mutation (c.683-1G>A) that led to loss of MEIOB protein cause familial...
