Abstract excerpt
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is a frequent cause of obstructive azoospermia. Nearly 75% of men with CBAVD have at least 1 detectable common mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The different alleles at the (TG)(m)(T)(n) polymorphic locus at the 3' end of human CFTR intron 8 determine the efficiency of exon 9 splicing. To study the CFTR gene...
