Successful human reproduction requires normal oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryo development. Early embryo arrest is a common phenomenon leading to female infertility, but the genetic basis is largely unknown. NLR family pyrin domain-containing 7 (NLRP7) is a member of the NLRP subfamily. Previous studies have shown that variants of NLRP7 are one of the crucial causes of female recurrent...
