Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spermatogenic impairments can lead to male infertility by different pathological conditions, such as multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) and non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Genetic factors are involved in impaired spermatogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here, we performed genetic analyses through whole-exome sequencing in a cohort of 334 Han Chinese probands with severe...
