Spermatogenic failure 81(SPGF81)

MedGen UID:
1840965
Concept ID:
C5830329
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: SPGF81
 
Gene (location): TEKT3 (17p12)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0859522
OMIM®: 620277

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-81 (SPGF81) is characterized by male infertility due to oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Patient spermatozoa exhibit acrosomal hypoplasia as well as detachment of the acrosome from the sperm head, and also show markedly reduced progressive motility (Liu et al., 2023) For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Male infertility
MedGen UID:
5796
Concept ID:
C0021364
Disease or Syndrome
The inability of the male to effect fertilization of an ovum after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility.
Oligozoospermia
MedGen UID:
678638
Concept ID:
C0868910
Finding
Reduced count of spermatozoa in the semen, defined as a sperm count below 20 million per milliliter semen.
Reduced progressive sperm motility
MedGen UID:
1730031
Concept ID:
C5436680
Finding
A reduced proportion of sperm that move in a straight line or large circles; alternatively, an increased proportion of sperm that move in tight circles or in some other non-linear fashion.
Acrosomal hypoplasia
MedGen UID:
1841709
Concept ID:
C5826763
Finding
Reduction in the size of the acrosome of the head of spermatozoa.
