• W3210410476 abstract "What are the genetic causes of total fertilization failure (TFF) in a proband suffering from male infertility?Novel compound heterozygous variants (c.[463C>T];[1084G>A], p.[(Arg155Ter)];[(Gly362Arg)]) in actin-like protein 7A (ACTL7A) were identified as a causative genetic factor for human TFF.ACTL7A, an actin-related protein, is essential for spermatogenesis. ACTL7A variants have been reported to cause early embryonic arrest in humans but have not been studied in human TFF.We recruited a non-consanguineous family whose son was affected by infertility characterized by TFF after ICSI. Whole-exome sequencing was used to identify the potential pathogenic variants. Artificial oocyte activation (AOA) after ICSI was performed to overcome TFF and any resulting pregnancy was followed up.Sanger sequencing was performed to validate the variants. Pathogenicity of the identified variants was predicted by in silico tools. The ultrastructure of spermatozoa was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Immunofluorescence staining and western blotting were used to investigate the mechanism of the variants on the affected spermatozoa.Novel compound heterozygous variants in ACTL7A (c.[463C>T];[1084G>A], p.[(Arg155Ter)];[(Gly362Arg)]) were identified in a family with TFF after ICSI. In silico analysis predicted that the variants lead to a disease-causing protein. TEM showed that the ACTL7A variants caused ultrastructural defects in the acrosome and perinuclear theca. Protein expression of ACTL7A and phospholipase C zeta, a key sperm-borne oocyte activation factor, was significantly reduced in the affected sperm compared to healthy controls, suggesting that the ACLT7A variants lead to an oocyte activation deficiency and TFF. AOA by calcium ionophore (A23187) after ICSI successfully rescued the TFF and achieved a live birth for the patient with ACTL7A variants.Given the rarity of sperm-associated TFF, only one family with an only child carrying the ACTL7A variants was found. In addition, the TFF phenotype was not assessed in two or more ICSI cycles, due to the intervention in ICSI with AOA after one failed ICSI cycle. Further studies should validate the ACTL7A variants and its effect on male infertility in larger independent cohorts.: Our findings revealed a critical role of ACTL7A in male fertility and identified bi-allelic variants in ACTL7A associated with human TFF, which expands the genetic spectrum of TFF and supports the genetic diagnosis of TFF patients. We also rescued TFF by AOA and obtained a healthy live birth, which provides a potentially effective intervention for patients with ACTL7A pathogenic variants.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81971374 and 81401267).
