Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dysfunction of motile cilia, including respiratory cilia and sperm flagella, typically leads to primary ciliary dyskinesia and male infertility or low fertility in humans. Genetic defects of LRRC6 have been associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and asthenozoospermia due to abnormal ultrastructure of ciliated axonemes. OBJECTIVES: To identify novel mutations of the LRRC6 gene related to multiple...
