Abstract excerpt
The involvement of the five thymidine (5T) variant in intron 8 of the cystic fibrosis membrane regulator (CFTR) gene in congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) phenotype has been extensively demonstrated. This variant leads to alternative splicing of the CFTR gene which results in a wild-type transcript and one without exon 9. Little is known about expression of the CFTR gene in the testis. We...
