Figure 5: Common transcripts shared by KS patients affected by SCO and hypospermatogenesis.
From: Testis Transcriptome Modulation in Klinefelter Patients with Hypospermatogenesis
The figure reports the transcripts that show similar gene expression in Klinefelter patients affected by SCO or hypospermatogenesis when compared to control testis. The up-regulated transcripts are mainly involved in apoptosis, while the down-regulated transcripts are strictly linked to the absence (SCO) or heavy reduced number (hypospermatogenesis) of germ cells.
