Interstitial Deletion of 5q22.2q23.1 Including APC and TSSK1B in a Patient with Adenomatous Polyposis and Asthenoteratozoospermia

| Shrnutí: | Interstitial 5q22 deletions are relatively rare and usually represented by severe clinical features such as developmental delay and growth retardation. Here, we report a 23-year-old male patient, referred to our laboratory for genetic confirmation of possible familial adenomatous polyposis. MLPA and the subsequent array CGH identified an approximately 8-Mb-sized deletion in the 5q22.2q23.1 locus. Further analysis of the deleted region and the genes within suggested a possible role for the
(testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1) gene in the patient's reproductive capacity. Semen analysis confirmed that the patient's reproductive capability was impaired, and that he suffered from asthenoteratozoospermia. Analysis of the azoospermia factor region on the Y chromosome revealed no microdeletions. Further sequencing tests could not find an alternative explanation for the patient's infertility. This case demonstrates a possible role of
in male reproduction. |
