Globozoospermia has been reported to be a rare but severe causation of male infertility,which results from the failure of acrosome biogenesis and sperm head shaping.Variants of dpy-19-like 2(DPY19L2)are highly related...
Background:Generally,intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be the preferable method to treat partial globozoospermia,but whether there exist some correlations between ICSI fertilization rate and the proportio...
Klinefelter syndrome and Y-chromosomal microdeletion analyses were once the only two genetic tests offered to infertile men. Analyses of aurora kinase C (AURKCj and DPY19L2 are now recommended for patients presenting...
The acrosome is a specialized organelle that covers the anterior part of the sperm nucleus and plays an essential role in the process of fertilization. The molecular mechanism underlying the biogenesis of this lysosom...
Globozoospermia is a human infertility syndrome caused by spermatogenesis defects (OMIM 102530). Acrosome plays an important role at the site of sperm-zonapellucida binding during the fertilization process. Thus, ma...

Globozoospermia is a severe form of teratozoospermia characterized by round-headed spermatozoa with an absent acrosome, an aberrant nuclear membrane and midpiece defects. Globozoospermia is diagnosed by the presence o...
We report the successful outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment in two siblings with familial globozoospermia. After controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and oocyte pick-up, retrieved oocytes we...
