Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oocyte maturation arrest at metaphase I leads to fertilization failure in humans. In early embryos, the tubulin beta 8 class VIII (TUBB8) encodes a β-tubulin isotype and aids in the assembling of the human oocyte spindle. Mutations in the TUBB8 potentially interfere with human oocyte maturation-a crucial prerequisite for fertilization and subsequent embryonic development. This study aims to...
