Spermatogenic failure 34(SPGF34)

MedGen UID:: 1648297
•Concept ID:: C4748403
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 34; SPGF34

Gene (location): Gene(s) directly associated with this condition or phenotype.	FSIP2 (2q32.1)

Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0029148
OMIM®:	618153

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-34 (SPGF34) is characterized by multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), resulting in immotile spermatozoa and infertility. Irregular-caliber, short, and coiled flagella are primarily observed, as well as absent flagella, and abnormalities of the axoneme are also present (Martinez et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and a 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.

Absent sperm flagella

MedGen UID:: 1623855
•Concept ID:: C4539786
•: Finding

Sperm cells lacking flagella.

Short sperm flagella

MedGen UID:: 1623693
•Concept ID:: C4539787
•: Finding

Sperm cells with abnormally short flagella.

Coiled sperm flagella

MedGen UID:: 1611216
•Concept ID:: C4539789
•: Finding

Sperm cells whose flagella are twisted (coiled).

Irregularly shaped sperm tail

MedGen UID:: 1687959
•Concept ID:: C5233737
•: Finding

Irregular or changing caliber (diameter) along the tail of the sperm.

See: Feature record | Search on this feature

Absent sperm axoneme central pair complex

MedGen UID:: 1785608
•Concept ID:: C5539658
•: Finding

Absense of the central pair of microtubules in the sperm axoneme, thereby forming a 9+0 pattern instead of the normal 9+2 pattern.
