Hypogonadism and gametogenesis defects in both sexes of Fancm-deficient mice
(A) Testes from B6.Fancm+/+ (left) and B6.FancmΔ2/Δ2 (right) mice. Scale bar, 5 mm.
(B) Six- to 14-week-old testes weights were lower in the mutants in all strains. Gray bars indicate mean ± SD.
(C) Quantification of daily sperm production. Gray bars indicate mean ± SD.
(D and E) Total sperm motility (D) and sperm progressive motility (E) were assessed with computer-assisted sperm analysis from 10-week-old mice. Gray bars indicate mean ± SD.
(F) Ovary weights were quantified across the three strains used from 5-week or older mice. Gray bars indicate mean ± SD.
(G) F1 females were superovulated and Fancm-deficient mice produced fewer oocytes. Gray bars indicate mean ± SD. Five mice per genotype; ∗p 0.05, ∗∗p 0.01, ∗∗∗p 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗p 0.0001.
