Summary

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]
