Spermatogenic failure 49(SPGF49)

MedGen UID:
1742668
•Concept ID:
C5436887
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPERMATOGENIC FAILURE 49; SPGF49
 
Gene (location): CFAP58 (10q25.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030868
OMIM®: 619144

Definition

Spermatogenic failure-49 (SPGF49) is characterized by male infertility due to multiple morphologic abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF), primarily coiled and short flagella, with markedly reduced or no progressive motility (He et al., 2020). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see 258150. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Male infertility
MedGen UID:
5796
•Concept ID:
