• almost all of the spermatozoa found in the epididymis have misshapen heads
• spermatids prematurely detach from the seminiferous epithelium
• the number of elongated spermatids is decreased compared to wild-type
• multinucleated spermatids are seen
• heterozygous females have reduced litter sizes
• no offspring are obtained despite normal mating behavior however in vitro fertilization with round spermatids produces offspring
