Spermatogenic failure 26(SPGF26)

MedGen UID:
1644751
•Concept ID:
C4693773
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 26; SPGF26
 
Gene (location): TSGA10 (2q11.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0054730
OMIM®: 617961

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-26 (SPGF26) is characterized by acephalic spermatozoa due to breakage that occurs in the midpiece of the sperm (Sha et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]
