Sequence analysis of the X-linked USP26 gene in severe male factor infertility patients and fertile controls

Fertil Steril. 2008 Sep;90(3):851-2. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.06.096. Epub 2008 Apr 18.

Abstract

The 1090C>T,L364F variant of the ubiquitin protease 26 (USP26) gene does not appear to be related to male infertility. Mutations of the USP26 gene do not appear to be a common cause of idiopathic azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia.
