DTX4 and congenital bilateral aplasia of vas deferens from CFTR mutation: We identified a common intronic variant in NOTCH1, protecting against CAVD development (rs3812603), as well as several rare and unique new variants in NOTCH-pathway genes (DTX4, NOTCH1, DTX1, DVL2, NOTCH1, DTX3L, DVL3), with a prominent effect of the protein structure and function.
