Abstract excerpt
RESEARCH QUESTION: How can the effect of genetic mutations that may cause primary female infertility be evaluated? DESIGN: Patients and their family members underwent whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to detect the infertility-causing gene and inheritance pattern. To study the function of mutant proteins in vitro, vectors containing wild-type or mutant TUBB8 cDNA were constructed for transient...
