Abstract excerpt
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is a form of male infertility in which mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been identified. Cystic fibrosis patients have mutations in both alleles of the gene while most CBAVD patients have mutations in only one allele. Frequently, the second CFTR allele is not mutant but polyvariant. We have studied CFTR...
