Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) occurs in almost all men with cystic fibrosis. Prevailing theories 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 .
先天性双侧输精管缺如(CBAVD)几乎发生于所有囊性纤维化患者。关于该病理生理学的主流理论与囊性纤维化跨膜转导调节因子基因的致病突变有关,这些突变会导致输精管在子宫内发生先天缺失或闭锁。在本研究中,我们报告了两例先天性输精管异常的兄弟病例,他们携带一种罕见的囊性纤维化跨膜转导调节因子杂合变异 p.r347h,但无肺部或胃肠道囊性纤维化的迹象或症状。
