Spermatogenic failure 30(SPGF30)

MedGen UID:
1648394
•Concept ID:
C4748224
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 30; SPGF30
 
Gene (location): TDRD9 (14q32.33)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0020851
OMIM®: 618110

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-30 (SPGF30) is characterized by male infertility due to nonobstructive azoospermia or cryptozoospermia. The few sperm that have been observed are immotile and have small heads. Testicular histology in azoospermic patients shows incomplete maturation arrest, with a Sertoli cell-only pattern in some areas (Arafat et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see 258150. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

Azoospermia
MedGen UID:
2150
•Concept ID:

Absence of any measurable level of sperm in his semen.

Cryptozoospermia
MedGen UID:
481180
•Concept ID:
C3279550
•
Disease or Syndrome
A type of low sperm count where ejaculated semen contains less than 100,000 spermatozoa per ml. With cryptozoospermia, the sperm count may fluctuate and a zero sperm count in the ejaculate may be initially measured. If sperm are observed in a second semen sample following centrifugation, the diagnosis of cryptozoospermia can be made (and azoospermia can be ruled out).
