Abstract

Oocyte specific genes play important role In the foliculogenesis, ovulation, fertilization and early embryogenesis. It is suggested that 17-20% of infertility in both sex has idiopathic aspect. This kind of infertility is mainly associated with genetic background. The study on the role of oocyte specific genes can help in our understanding of the causes of idiopathic infertility.
