Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene screening and clinical correlation in Taiwanese males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In Taiwan, an area with a very low incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF), we first screened for the most common mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and looked for clinical correlations in 27 patients with clinically diagnosed congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD).
