Abstract excerpt
Asthenozoospermia (ASZ) is a condition characterized by reduced forward motility of spermatozoa affecting approximately 19% of infertile men. A kinase anchor protein 4 (AKAP4) is an X-linked testis-specific gene and plays a major role in sperm motility and flagella formation. However, few studies have reported its association with ASZ. Here, we sequenced for exonic mutations of human AKAP4 gene by high-fidelity...
