Genetic diagnosis and outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection in South Chinese patients with congenital bilateral aplasia of the vas deferens

Chinese CBAVD patients primarily exhibit mutations in the CFTR and ADGRG2 genes. Therefore, targeted gene testing for CFTR and ADGRG2 is more suitable compared to WES for CBAVD patients. Considering that the genetic factors of approximately 30% of CBAVD patients remain unknown, it is recommended to perform massive parallel sequencing for patients who test negative for CFTR and ADGRG2 gene screening. Despite these genetic factors, ICSI outcomes were not adversely affected, except for the 2PN rate. However, genetic counseling remains crucial for Chinese CBAVD patients before undergoing assisted reproduction.
