First Sex Chromosome Gene Involved in Meiosis, Male Infertility Identified

-At the University of Pennsylvania they have discovered an X chromosome gene, which if disrupted, will change males sterile and reduce female fertility.
-The TEX11 gene is located in the X chromosome, and when disrupted it causes azoospermia, mutations in the human TEX11 gene.
-A mutation in the one copy of the TEX11 gene will make disorders such as color blindness and muscular dysthrophy.

I chose this topic for meiosis because I have never heard about anything like this before. At the University of Pennsylvania they have recently discovered something in the X chromosome. This discovery was the TEX11 gene, which is a type of mutation that when activated will cause problems such as azoospermia. it will also cause disorders in the human body such as color blindness and muscular dysthrophy.
