Previously, we examined the relationship between protamine gene variations and human male infertility. In this study, we show specific variability in the transition nuclear protein genes (TNPs) of sterile male patients. Transition nuclear proteins (TPs) are major nuclear proteins that replace nuclear histones, leading to eventual substitution by protamines during human spermiogenesis. Analysis of the human TNP1 and TNP2 gene sequences in 282 sterile male patients and 270 (TNP1) and 266 (TNP2… CONTINUE READING
