Human phenotype ontology Participants Comment
HP:0000789: Infertility 30 Samples from infertile patients whose seminiferous tubules were either empty (mJS 1, n=1; De Kretser and Holstein, 1976) or contained almost exclusively Sertoli cells (mJS 2, n=7) or Sertoli cells but rarely spermatogonia (mJS 3, n=3). These cases were compared with samples containing spermatocytes but no spermatids (mJS 5, n=8), early but no late spermatids (mJS 7, n=4) and many early and elongated but only few mature spermatids (mJS 8, n=7)
HP:control 8 vasectomized patients showing normal spermatogenesis as controls (mJS n=8) in addition, the patient samples were compared with previously published data obtained with highly enriched spermatocytes, spermatids, seminiferous tubules and total-testis controls from fertile individuals
HP:other: Other 9 Prepubertal children whose testes contain typical (Ad+, n=5 replicates) or very low levels (Ad2, n=4) of Adark spermatogonial cells
