Abstract excerpt
We characterized the 3272-26A-->G mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, creating an alternative acceptor splice site in intron 17a, that competes with the normal one, although we predict from consensus values, with lower efficiency. We analyzed five Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Portuguese patients with the 3272-26A-->G/F508del genotype. Besides clinical and haplotype...
