Abstract excerpt
The genetic etiology of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) characterized by maturation arrest (MA) remains incompletely understood. A homozygous nonsense variant (c.119G>A, p.W40X) in KCTD19 was identified in two unrelated probands with NOA. This variant disrupts the evolutionarily conserved BTB domain and leads to the absence of the KCTD19 protein. Histological analysis revealed a complete absence of post-meiotic...
