Abstract excerpt
Many studies have shown that congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD) is a genital cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated phenotype, with a broad spectrum of abnormalities causing male infertility. The genotype of these patients includes mutations in the CFTR gene, e.g. DeltaDeltaF508, R117H and the T5 allele; all of which are commonly found in CAVD. In this study we have...
