Abstract excerpt
In order to establish the nature and the distribution of mutations causing cystic fibrosis (CF) in 220 unrelated Argentine families, the present authors conducted an extensive molecular analysis of the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. First, a direct mutation analysis of 13 common mutations was done, enabling the detection of 319 out of 440 CF alleles (72.52%). Then an exhaustive screening of the entire...
