The paper identifies de novo mutations as a significant genetic cause of male infertility, finding several candidate genes and an enrichment of loss-of-function and missense mutations in intolerant genes.

The paper identifies biallelic M1AP mutations as a cause of meiotic arrest and male infertility through whole exome sequencing and cohort screening.

The paper identifies a transient reduction of DNA methylation during early meiosis in male mice, linked to retrotransposon expression and meiotic processes.
