Abstract excerpt
Tubulin beta eight class VIII (TUBB8) is a subtype of β-tubulin that only exists in primates. Mutations in the TUBB8 gene have been proven to cause oocyte maturation arrest. The aim of this study was to identify the new types of mutations in TUBB8. Six women (families) with oocyte maturation arrest and 100 healthy controls were recruited. The sequence of the TUBB8 gene was amplified and analyzed by Sanger...
