Abstract

Human reproduction is a complex process involving gamete maturation, fertilization, embryo cleavage and development, blastocyst formation, implantation, and live birth. If any of these processes are abnormal or arrest, reproductive failure will occur. Infertility is a state of reproductive dysfunction caused by various factors. Advances in molecular genetics, including cell and molecular genetics, and high-throughput sequencing technologies, have found that genetic factors are important causes of infertility. Genetic variants have been identified in infertile women or men and can cause gamete maturation arrest, poor quality gametes, fertilization failure, and embryonic developmental arrest during assisted reproduction technology (ART), and thus reduce the clinical success rates of ART. This article reviews clinical studies on repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures caused by ovarian dysfunction, oocyte maturation defects, oocyte abnormalities, fertilization disorders, and preimplantation embryonic development arrest due to female genetic etiology, the accumulation of pathogenic genes and gene pathogenic loci, and the functional mechanism and clinical significance of pathogenic genes in gametogenesis and early embryonic development.
