In the present study, PCDH11Yb, but not PCDH11Ya or PCDH11Yc, was expressed in germ cells isolated from the semen of all 13 men with proven fertility. However, in several subjects from various infertility classes, there was complete absence or a significant reduction in the expression of PCDH11Yb. In conclusion, expression levels of PCDH11Yb in germ cells in the semen were correlated with the fertility status of men. | Expression of protocadherin 11Yb (PCDH11Yb) in seminal germ cells is correlated with fertility status in men.
