Male
Phenotype

In vitro clinic: Very low testis weight, no epididymal sperm recovered.

Histology evaluation: Arrest of spermatogenesis during mid-pachytene stage of meiotic prophase (see 1), some seminiferous tubules are greatly depleted of germ cells (see 2).

Female
Phenotype

In vitro clinic: No oocytes recovered.

Histology evaluation: Tiny ovaries with few growing oocytes (see 3).
