Three novel mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene detected by chemical cleavage: analysis of variant splicing and a nonsense mutation.

Abstract excerpt

We have used the chemical cleavage mismatch technique to screen for mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene. Analysis of exons 10 and 11 in the first nucleotide binding fold led to the detection of several described mutations and two novel mutations, V520F and C524X. V520F results from a G-->T nucleotide substitution changing a valine to a phenylalanine residue, while C524X (a nonsense mutation), results from a...
