Objective: To evaluate relationships between the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of patients with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD).Design: Retrospective study.Setting: A university hospital urology-andrology department.Patient(s): Forty-one men with CBAVD.Intervention(s): CBAVD was diagnosed during surgical and/or ultrasound exploration of the vasa deferentia (VD) (n = 39), or on the basis of impalpable scrotal VD (n = 2).Main Outcome Measure(s): History, clinical and seminal characteristics, and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations including IVS-8 polyT analysis.Result(s): A palpable scrotal vas deferens was present as a fibrous cord or nonpermeable duct in 13% of patients undergoing surgical exploration. Seminal vesicles were bilaterally absent in 28% of patients. No CFTR gene mutation or 5T allele was detected in 24.5% of the patients. Two CBAVD patients with renal agenesis carried a CFTR gene mutation (Delta F508/5T-9T and R117G/7T-9T). CBAVD patients who have both a semen volume of less than or equal to1.0 mL and a semen pH of
