The geographic distribution of cystic fibrosis mutations gives clues about population origins.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Information regarding three of the more common cystic fibrosis mutations is presented (delta F508, G542X, N13031K) to support the concept of a geography associated with cystic fibrosis mutations. We present the hypothesis that a knowledge of the geography of cystic fibrosis mutations is important for an understanding of genotype-phenotype correlations, gene flow, historical population migration and...
