Congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens: a heterogeneous disorder with two distinct subpopulations based upon aetiology and mutational status of the cystic fibrosis gene.

Abstract excerpt

A total of 21 infertile men with congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD) were studied to determine if this disorder involves mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene. This hypothesis derives from previous work which has established the genetic commonality of CF and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). Both CF and CBAVD may result from compound heterozygosity for CF...
