Spermatogenic failure 90(SPGF90)

MedGen UID:
1053015
•Concept ID:
CN376944
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: SPGF90
 
Gene (location): ARMC12 (6p21.31)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0958242
OMIM®: 620744

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-90 (SPGF90) is characterized by male infertility due to asthenozoospermia, in which progressive motility of sperm is markedly reduced. This form of infertility can be rescued by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) (Liu et al., 2023). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). [from OMIM]
