Advances in the molecular genetic studies of acephalic spermatozoa syndrome

Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome (ASS) is characterized by a predominance of headless spermatozoa with abnormal head-tail junction in the ejaculate, which causes severe male infertility. The pathogenic mechanism of ASS remained unclarified for a long time until recent identification of the four ASS-associated genes SUN5, PMFBP1, TSGA10, and BRDT and their mutations due to the development of high-throughput sequencing technology. This review summarizes the advances in the genetic studies of ASS, focusing on its pathogenic molecular mechanisms, which provide an important basis for the molecular diagnosis of the disease as well as for assisted reproductive technology.
