There are many unknown genetic factors that lead to infertility in nonobstructive azoospermia men.Here,we performed whole-exome sequencing in blood samples obtained from 40 azoospermia patients with meiotic arrest and found a novel c.151_154del(p.D51fs)frame-shift mutation in exon 3 of the testis expressed 11(TEX11)gene in one patient.Sanger sequencing analysis of the patient and 288 fertile men was performed to validate the mutation.Immunohistochemical analysis showed TEX11 expression in late-pachytene spermatocytes and in round spermatids in fertile human testes.In contrast,testes of the patient with TEX11 mutation underwent meiotic arrest and lacked TEX11 expression.Western blotting of human embryonic kidney(HEK293)cells transfected with a vector for the p.D51fs TEX11 variant detected no TEX11 expression.In conclusion,we identified a novel frame-shift mutation in the TEX11 gene in an azoospermia patient,emphasizing that this gene should be included in genetic screening panels for the clinical evaluation of azoospermia patients.
