Deafness-infertility syndrome- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
CATSPER-related male infertility results from abnormalities in sperm and can be either CATSPER-related nonsyndromic male infertility (NSMI) or the deafness-infertility syndrome (DIS) when associated with non-progressive prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Males with NSMI have infertility while females have no symptoms. Males with DIS have both infertility and hearing loss, while females have only hearing loss. Routine semen analysis typically identifies abnormalities in sperm number, morphology, and motility. Otologic examination and audiologic assessment can identify hearing loss.
Spermatogenic failure 38- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
Spermatogenic failure-38 (SPGF38) is characterized by primary infertility and asthenoteratozoospermia due to multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF). Spermatozoa show total sperm motility below 10% and exhibit morphologic anomalies including short, absent, coiled, bent, or irregular-caliber flagella (Coutton et al., 2019).

- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Spermatogenic failure-64 (SPGF64) is characterized by male infertility due to oligoasthenoteratozoospermia or nonobstructive azoospermia. Some patients have absent sperm due to meiotic arrest at the diplotene stage, whereas others show low sperm counts and reduced progressive motility, and spermatozoa have enlarged amorphous heads (Ma et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2022).
Mutation in the FBXO43 gene can also cause female infertility due to early embryonic arrest (see OOMD12, 619697).

Spermatogenic failure 86- MedGen UID:

- •Concept ID:
- C5882755
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Spermatogenic failure-86 (SPGF86) is characterized by male infertility due to acrosomal defects of the spermatozoa, resulting in oocyte activation deficiency and fertilization failure. Some oocytes exhibit early embryonic arrest after successful fertilization with patient sperm using assisted reproductive technology (Xin et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2021).
