Congenital absence of vas deferens and cystic fibrosis.

Minerva pediatrica - 1 Feb 2003

Leonardi S, Bombace V, Rotolo N, Sciuto C, La Rosa M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene are a relatively frequent cause of male infertility such as congenital absence of vas deferens. This finding suggests that CFTR could play a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of congenital absence of vas deferens. METHODS: To assess how often CFTR mutations and 5-thymidine variant of the polythymidine tract of...
