Abstract STUDY QUESTION What is the diagnostic potential of next generation sequencing (NGS) based on a ‘mouse azoospermia’ gene panel in human non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA)? SUMMARY ANSWER The performance genes associated with mouse was relatively successful idiopathic NOA patients and allowed discovery two novel involved due to meiotic arrest. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY largely heterogeneous clinical entity, which includes different histological pictures. In large proportion NOA, aetiology...
Homologous recombination (HR) is the principal mechanism of DNA repair acting during meiosis and fundamental for segregation chromosomes increase genetic diversity. Nevertheless, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) mechanisms can also act meiosis, mainly in response to exogenously-induced damage late stages first meiotic prophase. In order better understand relationship between these two pathways, we studied male mouse after gamma radiation. We clearly discerned types responses immediately...
During mammalian meiotic prophase, homologous chromosomes connect through the formation of synaptonemal complex (SC). SYCP3 is a component lateral elements SC. We have generated transgenic mice expressing N- or C-terminal fluorescent-tagged (mCherry-SYCP3 (CSYCP) and SYCP3-mCherry (SYCPC)) to study SC dynamics chromosome movements in vivo. Neither transgene rescued aberrations Sycp3 knockouts, but CSYCP could form short axial element-like structures absence endogenous SYCP3. On wild-type...
