Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common recessive genetic diseases in North America. So far, 1200 mutations causing CF have been identified. Several techniques such as allele specific oligonucleotide (ASO) dot-blot, reverse dot-blot, amplification refractory mutation (ARMS), and an oligo-ligation assay, are available to detect the most common mutations. However, detecting compound heterozygotes between...
