reproductive system
abnormal oocyte morphology ( J:92463 )
• oocytes commonly contain vacuoles; oocytes have low developmental competence to 2-cell and blastocyst stages
necrospermia ( J:136078 )
• many sperm are dead
abnormal male germ cell morphology ( J:136078 )
• sperm cells exhibit post-meiotic defects such as round heads and bent flagellum
• however, meiosis progresses normally
oligozoospermia ( J:92463 )
• low epididymal sperm concentration
abnormal sperm flagellum morphology ( J:136078 )
• mutant sperm tails are often defective
abnormal sperm midpiece morphology ( J:136078 )
• some mutant sperm exhibit abnormal midpieces with a ragged or degenerated appearance
abnormal sperm head morphology ( J:136078 )
• >90% of mutant sperm exhibit a variety of abnormal head shapes vs <10% in wild type littermates
globozoospermia ( J:92463 , J:136078 )
• abnormal sperm head morphology (J:92463)
• sperm have abnormally shaped heads and acrosomes (J:136078)
abnormal female meiosis ( J:136078 )
• only 44% of oocytes progress to meiosis II
• inseminated meiosis II oocytes remain at the pronuclear stage and do not cleave
abnormal spermiogenesis ( J:92463 )
• impaired spermiogenesis
asthenozoospermia ( J:92463 , J:136078 )
• impaired sperm motility (J:92463)
(J:136078)
female infertility ( J:92463 , J:136078 )

male infertility ( J:92463 , J:136078 )

(J:136078)
impaired fertilization ( J:136078 )
• epididymal sperm fail to fertilize wild-type oocytes in IVF experiments
