Abstract excerpt
The Moloney sarcoma oncogene (MOS) encodes a protein serine/threonine kinase and MOS is expressed at high levels in oocytes undergoing meiotic maturation. The MOS/MAPK pathway is normally required for the maintenance of microtubules and chromatin in a metaphasic state during the meiotic divisions. To determine the pathogenic genes in a female infertile patient due to large polar body oocytes, whole-exome...
