Abstract: Purpose To identify disease-causing genes involved in female infertility. Methods Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger DNA sequencing were used to identify the mutations in disease-causing genes. We performed subcellular protein localization, western immunoblotting analysis, and co-immunoprecipitation… read more here.
