From a cohort of 167 infertile patients suffering from multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagellum (MMAF), pathogenic bi-allelic mutations were identified in the CCDC146 gene. In somatic cells, CCDC146 is located at the centrosome and at multiple microtubule-related organelles during mitotic division, suggesting that it is a microtubule-a...

Oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT), a recurent cause of male infertility, is the most frequent disorder of spermatogenesis with a probable genetic cause. Patients and mice bearing mutations in the ARMC2 gene have a decreased sperm concentration, and individual sperm show multiple morphological defects and a lack of motility – a canonical OAT phen...

Genetic mutations are a recurrent cause of male infertility. Multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagellum (MMAF) syndrome is a heterogeneous genetic disease, with which more than 50 genes have been linked. Nevertheless, for 50% of patients with this condition, no genetic cause is identified. From a study of a cohort of 167 MMAF patients, p...

... Finally, we developed an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for suppressing CCDC146 in neurons, and demonstrated that this ASO rescued the ALS-associated survival deficit irrespective of genetic background or the baseline expression of CCDC146 , and without significant toxicity. We note that CCDC146 loss-of-function (LOF) is well tolerated in vivo 17 . We conclude that CCDC146 suppression could be developed as a new and broadly effective treatment for ALS. ...
