Human X chromosome exome sequencing identifies BCORL1 as contributor to spermatogenesis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Due to the various manifestations of TSC and their potential complications, a multidisciplinary care approach is recommended by consensus guidelines. OBJECTIVES:Our study aimed to give a complete description of our TSC adult coh...
