reproductive system
azoospermia ( J:352587 )
• severe depletion of pachytene spermatocytes during meiosis leading to azoospermia in epididymal tail
abnormal male meiosis ( J:352587 )
• aberrant sex chromosome remodeling and silencing in spermatocytes, with X-Y chromosomes remaining elongated rather than forming into compacted XY body
increased male germ cell apoptosis ( J:352587 )
• spermatocytes undergo massive apoptosis
decreased testis weight ( J:352587 )
• testes weigh approximately 80% less than control testes
arrest of spermatogenesis ( J:352587 )
• spermatogenesis is blocked during meiosis, with absent post-meiotic germ cells and the most advanced germ cells in the seminiferous tubules being pachytene spermatocytes
arrest of male meiosis ( J:352587 )
• pachytene meiosis arrest with sex chromosome defects
male infertility ( J:352587 )
• males mated with wild-type or heterozygous females do not produce offspring indicating male infertility

endocrine/exocrine glands
decreased testis weight ( J:352587 )
• testes weigh approximately 80% less than control testes
