Abstract excerpt
The frequency and spectrum of mutations and the IVS8- T polymorphism of the CFTR gene have been studied in a sample of 963 in Russian infertile men. Mutations have been found in 48 out of 1926 analyzed chromosomes (2.5%) in the heterozygous state (n = 46) and in the compound heterozygote L138ins/N1303K (n = 1/n = 1). A CFTR gene mutation was combined with the 5T allele (mutCFTR/5T) in 11 patients. The following...
