Summaries for Spermatocele

About this section

MalaCards based summary: Spermatocele is related to hydrocele and infected hydrocele. An important gene associated with Spermatocele is SLC26A3 (Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 3), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Transport of inorganic cations/anions and amino acids/oligopeptides and Disorders of transmembrane transporters. The drugs Lidocaine and Anesthetics have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include testis, prostate and testes, and related phenotypes are homeostasis/metabolism and endocrine/exocrine gland
