Abstract excerpt
The subcortical maternal complex (SCMC), composed of several maternal-effect genes, is vital for the development of oocytes and early embryos. Variants of SCMC-encoding genes (NLRP2, NLRP5, TLE6, PADI6, and KHDC3L, but not OOEP and ZBED3) are associated with human oocyte maturation dysfunction, fertilization failure, and early embryonic arrest. In this study, we enrolled 118 Chinese patients who experienced...
