CFTR Gene Congenital Bilateral Absence of Vas Deferens NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The CFTR Gene Congenital Bilateral Absence of Vas Deferens NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect mutations in the CFTR gene, which can lead to congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), a condition that affects male reproductive health. This test is vital for understanding the genetic basis of reproductive disorders, allowing for informed decisions regarding family planning and management of associated health issues.
