Spermatogenic failure 80(SPGF80)

MedGen UID:
1824074
•Concept ID:
C5774301
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: SPGF80
 
Gene (location): DRC1 (2p23.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0859364
OMIM®: 620222

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-80 (SPGF80) is characterized by male infertility due to multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), including short, coiled, absent, and irregular-caliber flagella, with correspondingly reduced or absent progressive motility of sperm. Abnormalities of the sperm head have also been observed. Severe axonemal disorganization is evident on transmission electron microscopy (Zhang et al., 2021). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]

Clinical features
