Our present study identified 34 novel variants in TUBB8 in 51 patients. These patients show oocyte maturation arrest, oocytes with large polar body, fertilization failure, early embryonic arrest or embryonic implantation failure. These results expand the kinds of variants and phenotypic spectrum of TUBB8 variants with regard to female infertility.
