Abstract excerpt
The majority of the identified cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations are very uncommon in the total patient population, making the correlation between the clinical presentation and the molecular alterations difficult. The largest deletion that has been described so far in CF is of 84 bp in exon 13, which corresponds to the regulatory (R) domain of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. We have...
