OMIM® : ⁵⁷ Spermatogenic failure-40 (SPGF40) is characterized by multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF), including absent, short, bent, coiled, and irregular-caliber tails, resulting in severely reduced to absent motility. Patient spermatozoa may also show morphologic defects of the sperm head, with acrosomal hypoplasia or aplasia (Wang et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150). (618664) (Updated 20-May-2021)

MalaCards based summary : Spermatogenic Failure 40, is also known as spgf40. An important gene associated with Spermatogenic Failure 40 is CFAP65 (Cilia And Flagella Associated Protein 65). Related phenotypes are male infertility and oligospermia

Disease Ontology : ¹² A spermatogenic failure characterized by multiple morphologic abnormalities of the flagella resulting in severely reduced to absent sperm motility and abnormalities of the sperm head that has material basis in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in CFAP65 on chromosome 2q35.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷² Spermatogenic failure 40: An autosomal recessive infertility disorder characterized by severely reduced or absent sperm motility, due to multiple morphologic anomalies such as absent, short, bent, coiled and irregular-caliber tails. Patient spermatozoa may also show morphologic defects of the sperm head.
