The present study was undertaken to investigate the spectrum and frequency of CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene mutations in Indian men with CBAVD and to determine the female CF carrier status.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Direct DNA sequencing of the CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene was carried out in eighty CBAVD men, their female partners and fifty controls from the general population. Pathological significance of the identified novel CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene variants was carried out using in silico<\/jats:italic> tools. Appropriate genetic counselling was provided to the couples prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n A significant association was observed for CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene variants in Indian CBAVD men versus controls (odds ratio: 12.1; 95% confidence interval: 4.8-30.4; P<\/jats:italic><0.0001). A total of 20 CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene variants were identified in 53 CBAVD men. Eight novel missense CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene variants (L214V, A238P, E379V, L578I, F587L, L926W, R1325K and R1453Q); two novel splice-site gene variants (c.1-30C>G and IVS1+2T>G) and ten previously reported mutations (R75Q, c.1210-12[5], F508del, A309G, R334W, I444T, R668C, R709X, A1285V and Q1352H) were detected in CBAVD men. The novel and reported CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene mutations were L926W (2.5%, P<\/jats:italic>=0.26), R1453Q (2.5%, P<\/jats:italic>=0.26), F508del (8.75%, P<\/jats:italic>=0.03) and c.1210-12[5] (42.5%, P<\/jats:italic>=0.002). A total of 13 (16.2%) female partners were found to be a CF carrier. Nine couples had a risk of transmitting mutant CFTR allele to the offspring.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The heterogeneous spectrum of CFTR<\/jats:italic> gene in Indian population suggests the necessity of screening CBAVD men and female partners for accurate genetic counselling prior to undergoing ICSI.<\/jats:p>\n
