Vas deferens, congenital bilateral aplasia of, X-linked(CBAVDX)

MedGen UID:
934782
Concept ID:
C4310815
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CBAVDX; Congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens, X-linked
 
Gene (location): ADGRG2 (Xp22.13)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010511
OMIM®: 300985

Definition

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]
