Summary

Spermatogenic failure-96 (SPGF96) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by male infertility due to nonobstructive azoospermia. Spermatogenesis appears to be arrested at the zygotene stage, with reduced numbers of spermatocytes and no spermatids seen in testicular tissue (Yao et al., 2022). For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]
