Human spermatogenic failure purges deleterious mutation load from the autosomes...
Lopes, Alexandra; Aston, Kenneth I.; Thompson, Emma E; Carvalho, Filipa; Gonçalves, João; Huang, N.; Matthiesen, Rune; Noordam, Michiel J.Gonadal failure, along with early pregnancy loss and perinatal death, may be an important filter that limits the propagation of harmful mutations in the human population.

After assaying...
