Abstract excerpt
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene of 110 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from the south-west of Germany was screened for 12 different mutations. This analysis resulted in an identification of 79% of all CF mutations and a complete genotype in 66% of the families. The most common mutation found was delta F508 (67%). Another 5 mutations accounted for a further 12.5% (4% G542X; 3%...
