Abstract excerpt
Molecular studies of cystic fibrosis (CF) have allowed the genetic analysis of patients by means of DNA markers and the direct analysis of the CF gene. Some limited observations are available on the correlation between phenotype and genotype. Here, we report a study on the correlation of DNA haplotypes identified by KM-19 and XV-2c, the presence of the delta F508 mutation and lung involvement in 82 unrelated CF...
