A novel homozygous variant in ZP2 causes abnormal zona pellucida formation and female infertility

Yiming Sun et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel pathogenic variant in ZP2 that may cause thin ZP and female infertility. The variant affects the assembly of ZP2-ZP3 dimers, and further experimental results confirmed this mechanism of action.
