reproductive system
azoospermia
(
J:303558
)
• absence of spermatozoa, with massive apoptosis of spermatocytes
|
• massive apoptosis of spermatocytes
|
• increase in numbers of oocytes showing synapsis defects
|
• oocytes show a delay in prophase I progression with the majority of cells at zygotene stage in 17.5 dpc females, while the wild-type oocytes are mainly at pachytene stage
|
• drastic reduction of the follicle pool in ovaries
|
small testis
(
J:303558
)
• 70% reduction in testes size
|
• complete spermatogenic arrest at epithelial stage IV and absence of spermatozoa
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• drastic reduction of the follicle pool in ovaries
|
small testis
(
J:303558
)
• 70% reduction in testes size
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• DNA repair defects in meiocytes, with reduced number of RAD51/DMC1 foci on double stranded breaks and the subsequent reduction in the number of crossovers
