A report of two homozygous TERB1 protein-truncating variants in two unrelated women with primary infertility.

Here, we report for the first time two homozygous likely pathogenic and pathogenic TERB1 variants, c.626G>A, p.Trp209* and c.1703C>G, p.Ser568*, respectively, in two unrelated women with primary infertility. TERB1 is known to play an essential role in homologous chromosome movement, synapsis, and recombination during the meiotic prophase I and has an established role in male infertility in humans. Our data add TERB1 to the shortlist of Meiosis I genes associated with human infertility in both sexes.
