Characterization of two heterozygous mutations of the oocyte activation factor phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) from an infertile man by use of minisequencing of individual sperm and expression in somatic cells.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the underlying factors leading to infertility in a male patient from whom phospholipase C zeta H398P (PLCζ(H398P), histidine > proline) and PLCζ(H233L) (histidine > leucine) mutations were previously identified. DESIGN: Laboratory-based study. SETTING: University laboratory. PATIENT(S): An infertile 38-year-old man with significantly impaired oocyte activation ability. INTERVENTION(S):...
