All pediatric patients entered puberty at an appropriate age, but the highest testicular volume achieved by patients with AS was 9 \u00b1 3 mL in age group of 14- to 15-year-old boys. Among adults, 95% (39\/41) had hypogonadism with primary gonadal failure. Testicular analysis of the Alms1 S701X mouse model shows testicular atrophy with no evidence of fibrosis. Moreover, Alms1 S701X mice exhibit reduced sperm count and sperm motility compared with controls (29.03 \u00d7 106\/mL vs 110.6 \u00d7 106\/mL, 34.77% vs 70.18%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study sheds light on the reproductive aspects of AS across pediatric and adult populations with particular emphasis on testicular and pubertal development, and hypogonadism in adult life.
