| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Integrated genomic and epigenomic analyses including whole-exome sequencing analysis in Japanese patients with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia and testicular epigenomic analysis helped us identify candidate “hot spot” genes that harbored various types of mutations (such as genetic and epigenetic mutations). In a two-staged genome-wide association study of sperm motility in Japanese males, furthermore, a single nucleotide polymorphism rs3791686 in ERBB4 on chromosome 2q34 was identified as a novel locus for sperm motility.
