title: Mutations in the human BOULE gene are not a major cause of impaired spermatogenesis.
abstract: Mutation screening of the BOULE gene in 156 men with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia revealed no relevant mutations; thus, mutations in BOULE can be eliminated as a major cause of impaired spermatogenesis.
