Mutations in ZP4 are associated with abnormal zona pellucida and female infertility

Xiaoli Wei et al.

Summary: The study identified ZP4 as a novel gene associated with abnormal ZP in humans, and found that lower suction pressure and ICSI are effective treatment strategies for ZP4-mutated patients with abnormal ZP.

Novel mutations in ZP1: Expanding the mutational spectrum associated with empty follicle syndrome in infertile women

Ling Wu et al.

Summary: Empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is a serious and complex reproductive complication for infertile women, with increasing evidence highlighting the genetic basis of EFS occurrence. Novel and reported mutations in the ZP1 gene were identified in individuals with EFS, expanding the mutational spectrum and providing insights into the biological functions of ZP1 and its role in assessing EFS disease.

The critical role of ZP genes in female infertility characterized by empty follicle syndrome and oocyte degeneration

Ping Yang et al.

Summary: Novel variants of ZP genes were identified in over half of the cohort with GEFS and oocyte degeneration, causing intracellular protein sequestration and failure to assemble ZP filaments, resulting in EFS and female infertility.

A novel homozygous nonsense mutation in zona pellucida 1 (ZP1) causes human female empty follicle syndrome

Jing Wang et al.

Summary: A novel homozygous nonsense mutation in ZP1 was identified in a family with female infertility characterized by EFS. Bioinformatics analysis predicted the mutation to be pathogenic, resulting in a truncated ZP1 protein that is localized in the cytoplasm of degenerated oocyte. This study expands the genetic spectrum for EFS and helps justify the EFS diagnosis in patients.

Zona Pellucida Genes and Proteins: Essential Players in Mammalian Oogenesis and Fertility

Paul M. Wassarman et al.

Summary: The zona pellucida (ZP) surrounding mammalian oocytes and eggs consists of unique glycosylated proteins (ZP1-4), with polypeptide regions (ZPD) that play a crucial role in the polymerization of ZP proteins into fibrils. ZP genes are conserved among mammals and regulated by cis-acting sequences and trans-acting factors. Mutations in ZP genes can detrimentally affect ZP formation and female fertility, highlighting the importance of ZPD subdomains in fibril polymerization.

A novel mutation in ZP3 causes empty follicle syndrome and abnormal zona pellucida formation

Dazhi Zhang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify disease-causing genes related to female infertility, and a novel mutation in the ZP3 gene was identified in a Chinese family. This mutation was found to affect the interactions between ZP3 and ZP2, expanding the mutational and phenotypical spectrum of the ZP3 gene.
