Abstract excerpt
Human infertility in relation to mutations affecting the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene has been investigated by different authors. The role of additional variants, such as the possible forms of the thymidine allele (5T, 7T and 9T) of the acceptor splice site of intron 8, has in some instances been considered. However, a large-scale analysis of the CFTR gene and number of thymidine residues,...
