Abstract excerpt
Several mutations have been identified in the first nucleotide binding fold (NBF) of the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. We have analyzed the DNA sequences of exons 10 and 11 in five different mammalian species, marmoset, mouse, cow, pig, and sheep; the amino acid conservation studied for nine disease mutations; and two "benign" mutations. For exon 10, 87% homology at the DNA...
