Abstract excerpt
Disease severity varies among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients carrying the same cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotype and among organs of the same individual. It has been shown that the class V splicing mutation 3849 + 10 kb C--> T produces both normal and aberrantly spliced CFTR transcripts. We analyzed the levels of normal CFTR messenger RNA (mRNA) in different organs of an aborted...
