Cystic fibrosis mutation screening in CBAVD patients and men with obstructive azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia.

Molecular human reproduction - 1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt

Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) found in otherwise healthy infertile males, is associated with a high incidence of mutated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) alleles, and is considered a genital form of cystic fibrosis (CF). The CF gene may also be involved in the aetiology of male infertility in cases other than CBAVD. The present study was undertaken to test the...
