Dear authors,
I strongly recommend acceptance of this high quality review after essential
minor revisions. My suggestions are the followings:
* Do the cases reported in the literature have any common features?
* Can any risk factors be determined for the WEE2 gene mutation?
* Kindly indicate which ART protocols were performed in all cycles.
* Repetition of the previously mentioned information in the discussion section
should be avoided.
Sincerely.
