Azoospermia
0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE This increased frequency of CF mutations in healthy men with reduced sperm quality and in men with azoospermia without CBAVD suggests that the CFTR protein may be involved in the process of spermatogenesis or sperm maturation apart from playing a critical role in the development of the epididymal glands and the vas deferens. 8671256 1996
