Abstract excerpt
Male infertility is an increasingly serious health problem affecting couples of reproductive age. Mutations in axoneme-associated genes cause male infertility. Dynein arm proteins are essential in sustaining normal axonemes and promote flagellar motility. However, the function of DNAH7 in male fertility in vivo remains unclear. Herein, we showed that DNAH7 disruption in humans results in male infertility, which...
