Abstract excerpt
In order to further elucidate the contribution of complex alleles to the wide phenotypic variability of cystic fibrosis (CF), we investigated the structure-function relationships of a severe CF-associated complex allele [p.S912L;p.G1244V]. To evaluate the contribution of each mutation to the phenotype, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutants were expressed in HeLa cells and analysed for...
