teratozoospermia ( J:187685 )
• abnormalities become more apparent as the spermatozoa pass through the epididymis
abnormal sperm flagellum morphology ( J:187685 )
• ectopic localization in mature spermatozoa
coiled sperm flagellum ( J:187685 )
• spermatozoa from the cauda epididymidis show a tail coiled around the head
abnormal sperm head morphology ( J:187685 )
• mature spermatozoa have disorganized mitochondria trapped inside large cytoplasmic droplets and misshapen nuclei
abnormal acrosome morphology ( J:187685 )
• hypoplasia of the intermediate filament bundles in round spermatids
globozoospermia ( J:187685 )

male infertility ( J:187685 )
• males, but not females, are sterile
• when fertilization is accomplished by intracytoplasmic sperm injection healthy pups can be produced

reproductive system
abnormal spermatogenesis ( J:187685 )
• abnormalities in acrosome formation are detected in spermatids at around step 6
abnormal acrosome morphology ( J:187685 )
• all round-headed testicular and cauda epididymal spermatozoa have an acrosome of negligible size
• a few spermatozoa have small aberrantly shaped acrosomes
abnormal spermatid morphology ( J:187685 )
• as around step 6 nuclei are smaller and accumulation of GFP in the acrosomal granule is not apparent
