Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify novel variants in ACTL9 and new phenotypes responsible for male infertility. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples for whole-exome sequencing (WES). Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) was used to test the motility of spermatozoa. The ultrastructure of flagella and the mitochondrial sheath were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission...
