Spermatogenic failure 24(SPGF24)

MedGen UID:
1646063
Concept ID:
C4693751
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 24; SPGF24
 
Gene (location): CFAP69 (7q21.13)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0054728
OMIM®: 617959

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-24 (SPGF24) is characterized by multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), including absent, short, coiled, bent, and irregular-caliber flagella. Malformations of the sperm head have also been observed. In addition, patients exhibit very low sperm concentrations and total sperm counts per ejaculate (Dong et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]
