spermatogenic failure type 5
An infertility disorder (OMIM:243060) caused by defects of spermatogenesis. Semen from affected men show nearly 100% morphologically abnormal multiflagellar spermatozoa, with low motility, oversized irregular heads, and abnormal midpiece and acrosome.Molecular pathology
