Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 2)
- the frequency of the SNP3 allele was significantly elevated in the meiotic arrest group (P < 0.05). This study suggests that SPATA17 may play a critical role in human spermatogenesis, especially in meiosis. (PMID:19483714)
- Elevated production of the SPATA17 protein disturbs the normal development of male germ cells. (PMID:23079716)
