Cystic fibrosis in Jews: frequency and mutation distribution.

Genetic testing - 1 Jan 1997

Kerem B, Chiba-Falek O, Kerem E

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of cystic fibrosis and the frequency of disease causing mutations varies among different ethnic groups and geographical regions around the world. The Jewish population is comprised of two major ethnic groups. Ashkenazi and Non-Ashkenazi. The latter is further classified according to country of origin. An extreme variability in the disease frequency (from 1:2400-1:39,000) was found among the...
