Spermatogenic failure 61(SPGF61)

MedGen UID:
1794258
•Concept ID:
C5562048
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: SPGF61
 
Gene (location): STAG3 (7q22.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030507
OMIM®: 619672

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-61 (SPGF61) is characterized by male infertility due to nonobstructive azoospermia, resulting from complete meiotic arrest at the primary spermatocyte stage (Riera-Escamilla et al., 2019;van der Bijl et al., 2019). Mutation in the STAG3 gene also causes premature ovarian failure (POF8; 615723), resulting in female infertility. For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Male infertility
MedGen UID:
5796
•Concept ID:
C0021364
•
Disease or Syndrome
The inability of the male to effect fertilization of an ovum after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility.

Non-obstructive azoospermia
MedGen UID:
866757
•Concept ID:
C4021107
•
Disease or Syndrome
Absence of any measurable level of sperm in his semen, resulting from a defect in the production of spermatozoa in the testes. This can be differentiated from obstructive azoospermia on the basis of testicular biopsy.

Spermatocyte maturation arrest
MedGen UID:
1372736
•Concept ID:
C4476925
•
Finding
A type of spermatogenesis maturation arrest in which the block of developmental occurs in the spermatocyte stage. Testicular histology shows seminiferous tubules with Sertoli cells, spermatogonial cells and spermatocytes but no further differentiated cells like round spermatids.
