3 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Spermatogenesis defects are important for male infertility; however, the etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. Herein, we identified two loss-of-function mutations of STK33 in seven individuals with non-obstructive azoospermia. Further functional studies of these frameshift and nonsense mutations revealed that Stk33 -/KI male mice were sterile, and Stk33 -/KI sperm were abnormal with defects in the...
