(Re)Constructing Genetic Disease

2000-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In this paper I explore the construction of a clinical continuum between a genetic disease, cystic fibrosis (CF), and male infertility. I provide a brief outline of the history of cystic fibrosis and its association with male infertility, before examining the contention that a growing number of cases of male infertility are a form of CF. I explore various processes involved in the construction of the clinical cont...
