male infertility with azoospermia or oligozoospermia due to single gene mutationMODERATE

Inheritance Pattern: AR

Disease ID:MONDO:0018393

Submitter: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center

Alhathal et al., 2020 (PMID: 32719396) reported a missense variant in a large male infertility cohort (n=285 infertile man and case–control fertile man). Gene is scored according to ClinGen classification. Moderate with total score of 9. Single variant segregation (3 points), Animal model (4 points) (PMID: 33669425), testicular expression (1 points) (PMID: 18551385). Experimental evidence:Protein interaction (1 points), SPATA3interacts with KLHL10 (10.1093/biolreprod/83.s1.177), a known gene for infertility in humans (PMID: 20218307).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_139073.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
