Abstract excerpt
We recently reported a novel complex allele in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene, combining a sequence change in the minimal CFTR promoter (-102T>A) and a missense mutation in exon 11 [S549R(T>G)]. Here we compare the main clinical features of six patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) carrying the complex allele [-102T>A+S549R(T>G)] with those of 16 CF patients homozygous for mutation...
