Krt19tm1Alki/Krt19tm1Alki spermatids exhibit ectopic manchettes

reproductive system
abnormal sperm flagellum morphology ( J:125621 )
• 40% of epididymal sperm display normal head shape but tail abnormalities including hook- and U-shaped tails, sperm with shortened and thick tails, and conjoined sperm with hooked-shaped tails fused distally
• however, sperm display forward motility and axial rotation and random active particulate motion is observed in the residual cytoplasm
coiled sperm flagellum ( J:125621 )
• coiled flagella are observed in maturing spermatids and epididymal sperm of mutant mice
ectopic manchette ( J:125621 )
• 35% of round spermatids display ectopic manchette
transmission ratio distortion ( J:125621 )
• only 24% of offspring produced by intra cytoplasmic sperm injection retain the Krt19tm1Alki allele with the rest losing the neo cassette
