摘要
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) occurs in almost all men with cystic fibrosis. Prevailing theo-ries on this pathophysiology relate to pathogenic mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene leading to agenesis or obliteration of vas deferens in utero. In this study, we present a case of two brothers with congenital anomalies of the vas deferens who were found to have carried a rare, heterozygous cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator variant p. r347h without pulmonary or gastrointestinal signs or symptoms of cystic fibrosis .
