Molecular screening of partners of cystic fibrosis heterozygotes.

Abstract excerpt

We have screened 100 partners of known or suspected CF heterozygotes for ten CF mutations which account for 88% of the CF mutations seen by us on CF chromosomes. We have identified six CF heterozygotes amongst the 100 low-risk people screened. As two of the six people at high-risk of being CF carriers were subsequently shown not to be CF carriers this gave rise to four couples with a one in four risk of CF in a...
