Examination of genotype-phenotype correlations along with functional evaluation of CFTR mutations may not be straightforward. The c.1865G>A, p.Gly622Asp (G622D), located at the NBD1 C terminus of the CFTR protein, was initially reported in patients with male infertility. However, the substitution of Gly622 by an aspartic acid in vitro would perturb the local structure or even affect the CFTR folding itself. In...
