DISEASE: Congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens
Entry
H01033 Disease
Name
Congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens
Description
The condition of congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) causes obstructive azoospermia frequently seen in cystic fibrosis (CF) that is characterized by progressive lung disease, pancreatic dysfunction, elevated sweat electrolytes, and male infertility. In 80% of patients with CBAVD, mutations are identified in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Recently, mutations in ADGRG2 gene have been identified.
