Mutations in the TSPYL1 gene associated with 46,XY disorder of sex development and male infertility

Fertil Steril. 2009 Oct;92(4):1347-1350. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.04.009. Epub 2009 May 21.

Abstract

We screened 100 individuals with anomalies of testicular development or function for mutations in the TSPYL1 gene. A 46,XY female with complete gonadal dysgenesis carried a p.K320R mutation in the highly conserved NAP domain, and a 46,XY male with idiopathic azoospermia harbored a p.R89H mutation, and this data supports the hypothesis that mutations in TSPYL1 may contribute to anomalies of testicular development/function.
