Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) has recently been identified, and a three-nucleotide deletion (delta F508 mutation) that results in the loss of a phenylalanine residue in the first putative ATP-binding domain of the predicted protein (CF transmembrane conductance regulator, CFTR) has been found to be the major CF mutation. Although several other mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene, most...
