Abstract excerpt
AIM: To assess whether carriers and patients can be accurately identified by extended gene analysis for cystic fibrosis (CF) in dried blood spots. METHODS: A blinded analysis was performed in 10-mm2 blood spots on Guthrie cards, punched as if to remove material for the IRT test, from 10 CF patients and 10 carriers with known CF mutations. Genomic DNA was isolated. Aliquots of 1 microl dissolved DNA were used for...
