“…Other genes including SMCY, CDY2, XKRY, HSFY, LOC170324, CYorf14, CYorf15A/B, TTY5, TTY6, TTY9, TTY10, TTY13, TTY14, XKRY and RPS4Y2 have been mapped to this region, but their role in the spermatogenic process is not well elucidated yet [1,54]. Recent evidence points to a role of CDY2 in male germ cell development, specifically in the histone to protamine transition [20,55].…”
