A member asked:
When can a baby boy be checked for presence of vas deferens? my boy has a cf mutation and a 5t variant known to cause infertility issues
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Late: First you want to make sure he only has one mutation and not two. But i assume you likely know that already. A pediatric urologist may be able to detect that but usually you would need to wait a few years. It is usually know by physical exam.
