Spermatogenic Failure 16; Spgf16
Description
Spermatogenic failure-16 is characterized by acephalic spermatozoa causing male infertility. Semen from affected men consistently shows nearly 100% abnormally shaped spermatozoa, mostly made up of headless tails, with a small proportion of intact spermatozoa with an abnormal head-tail junction, as well as a few tailless heads. Ultrastructurally, the anomaly involves absence of the implantation fossa and basal plate between the sperm head and the tail (summary by Zhu et al., 2016).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (OMIM ).
