The Duarte (N314D) variant in the GALT gene has no effect on in vitro fertilization outcome.

Journal article

We assessed the effect of the Duarte (N314D) variant in the GALT gene on in vitro fertilization outcome measures. Our data do not definitely exclude variants in the GALT gene as factors influencing outcome, but the lack of suggestive evidence makes it difficult to justify a larger, more definitive study.
