Funded Activity Summary

In this grant we will define the function of an uncharacterized protein, LRGUK, in fertility and hydrocephalus (water on the brain). LRGUK has a critical role in sperm development. We will define the cell biology and biochemistry of LRGUK function, we will assess the incidence of LRGUK mutations in human fertility and explore LRGUK function in the brain. Data obtained will have relevance to the 1 in 20 young men who suffer from infertility and the 3 in 1000 children who develop hydrocephalus.
