TAF7 is a part of the protein complex that is indispensable for the start of transcription. In the testis, TAF7 localizes on nuclei in spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes during proliferation. To examine whether genetic polymorphisms of the intron-less TAF7 gene are associated with male infertility, we screened TAF7 for genetic polymorphisms using DNA from 282 sterile and 96 fertile male volunteers. We identified 11 genetic polymorphisms in the TAF7 region. Although many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported in the SNP database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, we found a novel CTC deletion and one SNP with an amino acid substitution in the TAF7 genomic region in infertile patients. These genetic polymorphisms might be causes of male sterility. These results will be useful for analyzing the association of traits and genetic polymorphisms in further large-scale genetic analyses.
