azoospermia
(
J:215796
)
• no epididymal spermatozoa are found in homozygous mutant males
• loss of spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules
• GCNA-1associated spermatogonia and early spermatocytes were unaffected
|
• no postmeiotic spermatids in testes from mutant males
|
• testes from mutant males exhibit increased apoptosis of spermatocytes
|
• homozygous mutant females exhibit meiotic phenotypes
|
• early recombination and synapsis events are normal in males
• mutants are severely defective in meiotic crossover formation
• the number of chiasmata resulting from crossovers was also substantially reduced in diakinesis-stage spermatocytes in mutant males
