Sperm cells from the probands were characterized using light and electron microscopy and used to verify the pathogenicity of genetic factors through functional assays. Subzonal insemination (SUZI) and IVF assays were performed to determine the exact pathogenesis of FF. ICSI were administered to overcome CALR3-affected male infertility.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Novel biallelic deleterious mutations in CALR3 were identified in two infertile men from unrelated families. We found one homozygous frameshift CALR3 mutation (M1: c.17_27del, p.V6Gfs*34) and one compound heterozygous CALR3 mutation (M2: c.943A&amp;gt;G, p.N315D; M3: c.544T&amp;gt;C, p.Y182H). These mutations are rare in the general population and cause acrosomal ultrastructural defects in affected sperm. Furthermore, spermatozoa from patients harbouring the CALR3 mutations were unable to bind to the sperm-ZP or they disrupted gamete fusion or prevented oocyte activation. Molecular assays have revealed that CALR3 is crucial for the maturation of the ZP binding protein in humans. Notably, the successful fertilization via SUZI and ICSI attempts for two patients, as well as the normal expression of PLC\u03b6 in the mutant sperm, suggests that ICSI is an optimal treatment for CALR3-deficient FF.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results are based on sperm-related findings from two patients.
