Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation analysis on 437 CF patients, characterized 80 different mutations (20 so far specific to our population) accounting for 91% of CF genes and generating 103 different genotypes. Eight mutations were common [F508del (53.4%), 621+1G>T (5.7%), G542X (3.9%), N1303K (2.6%), 2789+5G>A (1.7%), 2183AA>G (1.4%), E822X (1.4%), R1158X (1%)], 12 showed frequencies between 0.5% and 1%, while the...
