Abstract:

The mutation in TUBB8 gene (c.208C>T/p.Pro70Ser) was found in a patient with early embryonic arrest after repeated IVF/ICSI. The association betweenTUBB8 mutation and early embryonic arrest was further explored. This study provides more possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with recurrent implant failure.
