Summary

Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is found in more than 25% of men with obstructive azoospermia, involving a complete or partial defect of the Wolffian duct derivatives. In 80% of men with CBAVD (see 277180), mutations are identified in the CFTR gene (602421). The forms caused by mutations in the CFTR and ADGRG2 genes are clinically indistinguishable (summary by Patat et al., 2016). [from OMIM]
