Aetiology of congenital absence of vas deferens: genetic study of three generations.

Human reproduction (Oxford, England) - 1 Feb 1993

Patrizio P, Asch R H, Handelin B, Silber S J

Abstract excerpt

Bilateral congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD) is a form of male sterility (found in otherwise normal men) of unknown aetiology. Because males with cystic fibrosis (CF) almost invariably have CAVD as well, we investigated the hypothesis that men with isolated CAVD might share a common genetic background with males with CF. Genetic testing for CF was carried out in three generations of subjects: 44...
