Deafness-infertility syndrome (DIS) is an autosomal recessive contiguous gene deletion syndrome characterised by deafness and sperm dysmotility. This syndrome is caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 15q15.3. The deleted region involves two genes, CATSPER2 and STRC, that are expressed in the sperm and inner ear, respectively.
