Spermatogenic failure 54(SPGF54)

MedGen UID:: 1782493
•Concept ID:: C5543570
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 54; SPGF54

Gene (location): Gene(s) directly associated with this condition or phenotype.	CATIP (2q35)

Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0023664
OMIM®:	619379

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-54 (SPGF54) is characterized by male infertility due to oligoteratoasthenozoospermia, with markedly reduced sperm counts and severely reduced or absent sperm motility (Arafat et al., 2021). For 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.

Cryptozoospermia

MedGen UID:: 481180
•Concept ID:: C3279550
•: Disease or Syndrome

A type of oligozoospermia in which spermatozoa can be detected in an ejaculate only after centrifugation and inspection of the pellet.

Abnormal sperm axoneme morphology

MedGen UID:: 1782796
•Concept ID:: C5539895
•: Finding

Abnormal structure of the sperm axonemal structure which consists of a ring of nine microtubular doublets and a central pair of microtubules, giving the classical 9+2 microtubular arrangement. The axoneme contains a central pair of microtubules (C1 and C2) that are connected by a bridge-like structure forming the central pair complex (CPC). Each of the nine outer doublets is composed of type A and B microtubules and connected by radial spokes to the CPC.
