CATSPER1-related nonsyndromic male infertility

CATSPER1-related nonsyndromic male infertility is a condition that affects the function of sperm, leading to difficulty conceiving children (a condition called infertility). People with this condition produce sperm that have decreased movement (motility). Affected individuals may also produce fewer sperm cells or sperm cells that are abnormally shaped. These sperm abnormalities prevent people with this condition from conceiving without assisted reproductive technologies.
