The CFTR polymorphisms poly-T, TG-repeats and M470V in Chinese males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is a frequent cause of obstructive azoospermia, and mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have also been frequently identified in patients with CBAVD. However, the distribution of the CFTR polymorphisms M470V, poly-T, TG-repeats and F508del mutation in the Chinese CBAVD population with presumed l...
متن کاملThe CFTR M470V, Intron 8 Poly-T, and 8 TG-Repeats Detection in Chinese Males with Congenital Bilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens
PURPOSE To evaluate the significance of molecular detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) M470V, intron 8 poly-T, and intron 8 TG-repeats in congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). METHODS Eighty-nine male patients with CBAVD and 103 healthy males were included in this study. Polymerase chain reaction was performed to amplify the polymorphic r...
متن کاملMolecular study of (TG)m(T)n polymorphisms in Iranian males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is a frequent cause of obstructive azoospermia. Nearly 75% of men with CBAVD have at least 1 detectable common mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The different alleles at the (TG)(m)(T)(n) polymorphic locus at the 3' end of human CFTR intron 8 determine the efficiency of exon 9 splicing. To st...
متن کاملCFTR Mutations in Congenital Absence of Vas Deferens
A qualitative diagnosis of infertility requires attention to female and male physical abnormalities, endocrine anomalies and genetic conditions that interfere with reproduction. Many genes are likely to be involved in the complex process of reproduction. Cystic fibrosis (CF) incidence varies in different White people populations (a higher incidence of CF is observed in northern–western European...
متن کاملMutations of the CFTR gene in Turkish patients with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
BACKGROUND Mutations of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) can cause congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) as a primarily genital form of cystic fibrosis. The spectrum and frequency of CFTR mutations in Turkish males with CBAVD is largely unknown. METHODS We investigated 51 Turkish males who had been diagnosed with CBAVD at the Hacettepe Universi...
