Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorder in Caucasians, and in some populations 70% of cases are associated with a 3 base pair (bp) deletion (delta F508) in the CFTR gene. We have implemented a fluorescence-based, multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (MASPCR) assay for deletion of the delta F508 mutation. Different allele-specific fluorescently-tagged primers are used in the PCR reaction...
