Abstract excerpt
We analyzed 97 unrelated Mexican cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and their first-degree relatives to study the association of XV2C/TaqI/KM19/PstI haplotypes with CF mutations in this population. Haplotype phases could be established in 148 CF and 110 normal chromosomes, and haplotype distributions of normal and CF chromosomes differed significantly (P < 0.001). DeltaF508 and G542X mutations accounted for 56% of CF...
