Table of Contents
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that spermatogenic failure-8 (SPGF8) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the NR5A1 gene (184757) on chromosome 9q33.
For a discussion of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of spermatogenic failure, see SPGF1 (258150).
Bashamboo et al. (2010) analyzed the candidate gene NR5A1 in 315 men with idiopathic spermatogenic failure and identified heterozygous missense mutations in 7 of them (see, e.g., 184757.0016-184757.0018). The authors noted that except for 1 mutation-positive patient who had moderate oligozoospermia, NR5A1 mutations were associated with severe spermatogenic failure; no mutations were found in men with mild oligozoospermia (sperm counts of 10 to 20 x 10(6)/ml).

Dear OMIM User,
To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90% of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the information that you need at your fingertips.
Thank you in advance for your generous support,
Ada Hamosh, MD, MPH
