phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
reproductive system
• sperm tails show curved and irregular morphology
• sperm flagella show partially absent inner dynein arms but have the typical 9+2 axonemal structure and peri-axonemal structures
• sperm motility, progressive motility, and swimming velocity are lower than in wild-type sperm
• males show severely disrupted fertility
• however, no differences in testicular size or testis/body weight ratio are seen and presence of spermatogenic cells are seen at different stages in the testes
