De novo mutations are known to play a prominent role in sporadic disorders with reduced fitness. We hypothesize that de novo mutations play an important role in severe male infertility and explain a portion of the genetic causes of this understudied disorder. To test this hypothesis, we utilize trio-based exome sequencing in a cohort of 185 infertile males and their unaffected parents. Following a systematic analysis, 29 of 145 rare (MAF Germline de novo mutations can impact individual fitness, but their role in human male infertility is understudied. Trio-based exome sequencing identifies many new candidate genes affecting male fertility, including an essential regulator of male germ cell pre-mRNA splicing. |
