    Research question: What are the embryonic profiles and oocyte maturation dynamics in patients with tubulin beta eight class VIII (TUBB8) mutations leading to oocyte maturation abnormalities (OMAS), and are pregnancies possible in this population?Design: A prospective cohort study was undertaken in a private fertility clinic between January 2019 and December 2022. Whole-exome genomic studies (WES) were performed to detect mutation types. In-vitro maturation (IVM) was compared in 18 subjects: nine with TUBB8 mutations, and nine without TUBB8 mutations to act as the control group. The distributions of oocyte maturation and embryonic development profiles were recorded. IVF and IVM outcomes of the 18 cases were evaluated. The primary outcomes were the embryonic profiles and maturation dynamics of oocytes derived from IVF or IVM in women as related to TUBB8 mutations.Results: Mutations were detected in 52 of 89 (58.4%) women who underwent WES analysis. Twelve TUBB8 mutations were detected in nine women (10.1%) with OMAS. Seven novel TUBB8 mutations were noted. Two pregnancies were obtained in women with c.535 G>A TUBB8 mutations. When comparing IVM outcomes between women with and without TUBB8 mutations, there were no differences in oocyte, embryo or pregnancy parameters (P>0.05 in all cases).Conclusions: It is clear that further TUBB8 mutations which cause oocyte or embryonic arrest will be detected in future. Although biochemical or ectopic pregnancies may be possible in some of these women, no live births or ongoing pregnancies have been reported to date.
