Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of gonadotropin-stimulated and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) -primed in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) in cases of repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure due to various forms of oocyte maturation arrest (OMA).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study.
Results: In all, 63 women with IVF failure due to OMA were evaluated in this study. According to the Hatirnaz & Dahan classification, 11 (17.5%) women were OMA type 1, 22 (34.9%) were OMA type 2, 0 were OMA type 3, 11 (17.5%) were OMA type 4, and 19 women were OMA type 5 (30.1%). Fewer oocytes were retrieved in the IVM than in the IVF cycles. No embryos were produced from oocytes collected in the IVM cycles of women with OMA types 1, 2, and 4. In the OMA type 5 group, 9 (47.4%) day 2 embryos and 6 (31.6%) day 3 embryos were obtained. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (P = 0.001, P = 0.002, respectively). Single day 3 embryo transfer was performed for the six patients with OMA type 5 but no clinical pregnancies occurred.
Conclusions: Follicle-stimulating hormone-stimulated and hCG-primed IVM does not improve oocyte maturation, developmental potential, or pregnancy rates of women with OMA. Future studies directed to re-establishing normal cytoskeletal architecture and machinery, and resumption of meiosis may be beneficial for obtaining mature oocytes.

Pathogenic variants in DLGAP5 cause female infertility characterized by oocyte maturation arrest and embryonic arrest.
Hum Reprod
September 2025
Institute of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, the Institutes of Biomedical Sciences, and the State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Study Question: Can new genetic factors responsible for oocyte defects be identified in infertile women, especially for those with spindle assembly defects?
Summary Answer: We identified homozygous and compound heterozygous variants of DLGAP5 in three infertile individuals from two independent families.
What Is Known Already: Some genes have been found to be responsible for female infertility with oocyte maturation defects. During mitosis, DLGAP5 is involved in promoting microtubule polymerization and spindle formation.

Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Background: Oculomotor apraxia (OMA), the clinical manifestation of impaired voluntary initiation of saccadic eye movements, has long been associated with several disorders and genetic mutations in the literature.
Objectives: The present study aims to review all the disorders and genetic mutations associated with OMA reported in the literature.
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for related keywords, and related publications from January 2000 to January 2024 were reviewed.

Thyrotropin (TSH)-secreting pituitary tumors (TSH-omas) are a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. Historically, the majority have been macroadenomas (>1 cm); however, microadenomas (<1 cm) are increasing in frequency. Localization of TSH-secreting microadenomas can be challenging.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the genetic variants associated with early embryonic developmental arrest (EDA) in infertile patients and to expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of maternal-effect genes, including PATL2, WEE2, and TUBB8, which are critical for oocyte maturation arrest (OMA) and fertilization failure (FF) as previously reported.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing was performed on 84 unrelated patients who experienced multiple in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer failures due to EDA. The effects of the variants in arrested embryos were assessed by morphological observations.

Introduction: This Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Expert Joint Perspective examines steatotic liver disease (SLD), which is composed of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in children with obesity. The prevalence of obesity is increasing, rates have tripled since 1963 from 5 % to now 19 % of US children affected in 2018. MASLD, is the most common liver disease seen in children, can be a precursor to the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and is the primary reason for liver transplant listing in young adults.
