The present invention provides a group of mouse spermatogenesis genes,
which is an assembly of 89 genes in total, wherein the respective genes
transcribe mRNAs from which cDNAs having the respective base sequences of
SEQ ID NOs:1 to 89 are synthesized; an Scot-t gene mutation and a
protamine-2 gene mutation which are human homologues of genes belonging
to the group of mouse genes and associated with human male infertility.
The invention also provides a group of mouse spermatogenesis genes and
various molecular biological materials relating thereto; various
molecular biological materials relating to male infertility-associated
gene mutations; and various test methods and diagnostic methods using the
same.
