Dear Sir,

We read with great interest the recent paper by Lissen et al. (1999), who reported on a high frequency of the intron 8 splice variant 5T (IVS8-(5T) within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in 20 Egyptian males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). They found homozygosity of the IVS8-(5T) allele in five men and compound heterozygosity with an IVS8-(7T) allele in three men and with an IVS8-(9T) allele in one . . . [Full Text of this Article]
