A homozygous KASH5 frameshift mutation causes diminished ovarian reserve, recurrent miscarriage, and non-obstructive azoospermia in humans
14 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
The meiosis-specific LINC complex, composed of the KASH5 and SUN1 proteins, tethers the moving chromosomes to the nuclear envelope to facilitate homolog pairing and is essential for gametogenesis. Here, we applied whole-exome sequencing for a consanguineous family with five siblings suffering from reproductive failure, and identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in KASH5 (c.1270_1273del, p.Arg424Thrfs*20)....
