Phenotype

In vitro clinic: Very low epididymal sperm concentration, many sperm have abnormally shaped heads or no  heads, sperm tails are short or curled, no sperm motility, no IVF success.

Histology evaluation: Abnormal spermiogenesis (see 1) characterized by abnormally shaped spermatid heads and abnormal tail morphology.
