Read our Cystic Fibrosis research guide →This is an observational study that collects tissue samples from men who are already scheduled for surgery related to fertility treatment or cystic fibrosis care. Researchers want to study how a gene called CFTR is controlled and organized in these tissue samples to better understand why some men have fertility problems or develop certain genetic conditions.
Male infertility and certain genetic conditions like cystic fibrosis are connected to how the CFTR gene works. By studying tissue samples from patients undergoing necessary surgery, researchers hope to understand this gene better and eventually develop better treatments or explanations for why these conditions occur.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, a surgeon will collect a small tissue sample during your already-scheduled surgery for fertility treatment or medical care. The researchers will then use the extra tissue sample (that would otherwise be discarded) for their genetic studies. This adds no extra steps, no additional surgery, and no impact on your health or treatment plan.
