• testis size and weight is similar to controls
• sperm count and total motility are similar to controls
|
• display varying degrees of 'fan-shaped' heads
|
• varying degrees of detachment from the nuclear envelope in spermatids and sperm
• enlarged space between the inner acrosomal membrane and the nuclear envelope in spermatids
|
• severe male subfertility
|
• significant reduction in the calcium ionophore induced acrosome reaction rate
|
• in vitro fertilization using sperm from mutant mice produced a significantly lower percentage of two-cell embryos compared to sperm from wild-type mice
• impaired fertilization can be rescued using intracytoplasmic sperm injection
