Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) in approximately 1% of the infertile males.
However, more extensive studies of CFTR mutations in larger and more diverse populations have shown that mutations in additional genes could perhaps modulate the severity and type of disease ...
