Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The association between the TDRD6 variants and human infertility remains unclear, as only one homozygous missense variant of TDRD6 was found to be associated with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were employed to identify potential pathogenic variants of TDRD6 in infertile men. Histology, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and ultrastructural...
