How exome sequencing improves the diagnostics and management of men with non‐syndromic infertility
Abstract Male infertility affects approximately 17% of all men and represents a complex disorder in which not only semen parameters such as sperm motility, morphology, and number of sperm are highly variable, but also testicular phenotypes range from normal spermatogenesis to complete absence of germ cells.

Abstract Background Current guidelines indicate that patients with extreme oligozoospermia or azoospermia should be tested for chromosomal imbalances, azoospermia factor (AZF) deletions and/or CFTR variants. For other sperm abnormalities, no genetic diagnostics are recommended.

EP300‐interacting inhibitor of differentiation 3 is required for spermatogenesis in mice
Abstract Background Mammalian spermatogenesis is a highly complex process of cell proliferation, meiosis, and differentiation. A series of genes are expressed in an orderly and precise manner to ensure spermatogenesis, with chromatin undergoing intricate changes throughout.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

What do measures of gender identity tell us about gender identity over time?
Abstract Gender identity is a multifaceted concept and is represented by a wide range of measures and constructs including both self‐report and researcher observations of preferences and behaviours. However, despite their similar theoretical underpinning, gender identity measures are rarely found to correlate with one another, and contrasting patterns ...
