In the homozygous form, this mutation changed Isoleucine to Threonine. This alternation occurred inside the AKAP4 binding domain of the AKAP3 protein. The observed variants caused no significant deviation in the secondary structure of AKAP3 protein and probably its function in spermatozoa flagella. So, these variants cannot be considered as the causes of MMAF phenotype in the studied patients.
