Distinct projections encircling the central microtubules of the spermatozoal axoneme play pivotal roles in flagellar bending and spermatozoal movement. Mammalian sperm-associated antigen 17 ( SPAG17 ) encodes a conserved axonemal protein of cilia and flagella, forming part of the C1a projection of the central apparatus, with functions related to ciliary/flagellar motility, skeletal growth, and male fertility. This study investigated two novel homozygous SPAG17 mutations (M1: NM_206996.2, c.829+1G>T, p.Asp212_Glu276del; and M2: c.2120del, p.Leu707*) identified in four infertile patients from two consanguineous Pakistani families. These patients displayed the MMAF phenotype confirmed by Papanicolaou staining and scanning electron microscopy assays of spermatozoa. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of patients' spermatozoa also revealed a significant decrease in SPAG17 mRNA expression, and immunofluorescence staining showed the absence of SPAG17 protein signals along the flagella. However, no apparent ciliary-related symptoms or skeletal malformations were observed in the chest X-rays of any of the patients. Transmission electron microscopy of axoneme cross-sections from the patients showed incomplete C1a projection and a higher frequency of missing microtubule doublets 1 and 9 compared with those from fertile controls. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot analyses of spermatogenesis-associated protein 17 (SPATA17), a component of the C1a projection, and sperm-associated antigen 6 (SPAG6), a marker of the spring layer, revealed disrupted expression of both proteins in the patients' spermatozoa.
