Abstract excerpt
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens is a congenital reproductive disorder that affects about one in 1000 male individuals. Screening of the entire coding and flanking sequences of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in 64 males with CBAVD revealed that in only 23% CBAVD was caused by two CFTR mutations. The 5T allele in one copy, that causes reduced levels of the...
