Abstract excerpt
Forty-six CF Italian patients and their parents were screened for a highly polymorphic microsatellite consisting of a variable number of CA/GT repeats in intron 8 of the CFTR gene. A strong degree of association was found between alleles 2 and 6 and the CF mutation delta F508. Moreover, considering the haplotypes at the closely linked locus D7S23 and the microsatellite's alleles, a strong linkage disequilibrium...
