Abstract excerpt
A total of 75 non-delta F508 chromosomes from 59 German cystic fibrosis patients was screened for mutations in exon 11 of the cystic fibrosis (CFTR) gene. These Caucasian patients were found to possess an identical haplotype background for two common mutations (G551D, R553X) consistent with their being identical by descent. However, a different R553X associated haplotype found in American black patients was...
