???displayArticle.abstract??? PANX1, one of the members of the pannexin family, is a highly glycosylated channel-forming protein. Recently, we identified heterozygous variants in PANX1 that follow an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and cause female infertility characterized by oocyte death. In this study, we screened for novel PANX1 variants in patients with the phenotype of oocyte death and discovered a new type of inheritance pattern accompanying PANX1 variants. We identified two novel homozygous missense variants in PANX1 [NM_015368.4 c.712T>C (p.(Ser238Pro) and c.899G>A (p.(Arg300Gln))] associated with the oocyte death phenotype in two families. Both of the homozygous variants altered the PANX1 glycosylation pattern in cultured cells, led to aberrant PANX1 channel activation, and resulted in mouse oocyte death after fertilization in vitro. It is worth noting that the destructive effect of the two homozygous variants on PANX1 function was weaker than that caused by the recently reported heterozygous variants. Our findings enrich the variational spectrum of PANX1 and expand the inheritance pattern of PANX1 variants to an autosomal recessive mode. This highlights the critical role of PANX1 in human oocyte development and helps us to better understand the genetic basis of female infertility due to oocyte death.
