Correlation between CFTR gene mutations in Iranian men with congenital absence of the vas deferens and anatomical genital phenotype.

J Androl

Department of Reproductive Genetics, Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center of Royan Institute, PO Box 19395-4644, Tehran, Iran.

Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD) are 2 causes of male sterility; these phenotypes are found in 1%-2% of men investigated for infertility and approximately 10% of men with azoospermia. To study the correlation between genital phenotype and cystic fibrosis genotype in men lacking at least 1 vas deferens, we evaluated the role of different CFTR gene mutations in the morphologic genital phenotype of 119 infertile men with bilateral or unilateral absence of the vas deferens (112 CBAVD and 7 CUAVD patients). Renal, scrotal, and transrectal ultrasonography were systematically performed.

Molecular study of (TG)m(T)n polymorphisms in Iranian males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.

Department of Reproductive Genetics, Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center of Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran.

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.

Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is a frequent cause of obstructive azoospermia. Nearly 75% of men with CBAVD have at least one detectable common cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation. To study the involvement of CFTR mutations in the Iranian population with presumed low CF frequency, we analysed 112 Iranian CBAVD males.

Association of long polyglycine tracts (GGN repeats) in exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene with cryptorchidism and penile hypospadias in Iranian patients.

Department of Reproductive Genetics, Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center of Royan Institute, PO Box 19395-4644, Tehran, Iran.

Hypospadias (a urethral orifice located along the ventral side of the penis) and cryptorchidism (failure of the testes to descend into the scrotal sacs) are the 2 most common congenital malformations in males, affecting 0.3%-0.7% and 2%-4%, respectively, at birth.

Molecular analysis of the IVS8-T splice variant 5T and M470V exon 10 missense polymorphism in Iranian males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.

Department of Reproductive Genetics, Department of Male Infertility and Department of Stem Cell, Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center, Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran.

Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is responsible for 2-6% of male infertility in which mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been identified. To investigate CBAVD at the molecular level in Iran, we have characterized the mutations in the CFTR gene in 106 patients with this condition. None had clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF).
