cellular
azoospermia
(
J:294176
)
• no observable spermatozoa in either mutant testis or epididymis
|
• morphologically abnormal post-meiotic stage 9 germ cells in testis
• dramatically reduced numbers of stage 12 elongating spermatids and presence of what appeared to be large multinucleated cells in testis, suggesting cell death
• absence of elongated spermatids by stage IV
