Research project funded by NICHD to study kinesin gene variants linked to female subfertility and egg aneuploidy, aiming to understand genetic causes and develop genetic testing.
Description
This project investigates genetic variants in kinesin genes that may predispose women to egg aneuploidy, a leading cause of female infertility. The research aims to identify causal maternal variants, assess their impact on egg development, and elucidate mechanisms through mouse models and in silico analysis. The work will contribute to understanding the molecular basis of female infertility and develop genetic tests for risk assessment.
