Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Are phospholipase C zeta 1 (PLCZ1) mutations associated with fertilization failure (FF) after ICSI? SUMMARY ANSWER: New mutations in the PLCZ1 sequence are associated with FFs after ICSI. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: FF occurs in 1-3% of ICSI cycles, mainly due to oocyte activation failure (OAF). The sperm PLCζ/PLCZ1 protein hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol (4, 5)-bisphosphate in the oocyte, leading to...
