Abstract excerpt
Thirty-seven unrelated Iranian CF families were screened for the presence of seven common mutations (DeltaF508, G542X, W1282X, G551D, N1303K, 1717-1G-->A, and 621-1G-->T) using ARMS PCR and exons 4 and 7 of the CFTR gene by SSCP method. This study resulted in the identification of 26.8 per cent of all CF alleles: DeltaF508 (16.2 per cent), W1282X (4 per cent), G542X (2.7 per cent), R117H (1.3 per cent), R347H...
