Abstract excerpt
Numerous actin-related proteins (ARPs) deficiencies have been confirmed to cause sperm acrosomal structural abnormalities, representing significant genetic factors in male infertility. We identified a patient with a missense mutation in ACTRT3, who presented with teratozoospermia and experienced embryonic developmental arrest following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Further analysis revealed...
