First Infertile Case with <b><i>CSTF2T</i></b>Gene Mutation

Male infertility is multifactorial and presents with heterogeneous phenotypic features. Genetic factors are responsible for up to 15% of the male infertility cases. Loss of the Cstf2t gene in male mice results in infertility. No disease-associated mutations have been described for this gene in infertile men. Here, we report a patient diagnosed with infertility in whom a homozygous nonsense mutation in the CSTF2T gene was detected by clinical exome sequencing. This case is the first description of an infertile patient who has a homozygous CSTF2T mutation.
