Abstract excerpt
Thirteen mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been screened in a French sample of 185 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, together with their respective associated RFLP haplotypes at the linked D7S23 locus (XV2C and KM19 markers). The respective frequencies of the mutations showed that 9 of them account for 80% of the CF chromosomes. Implications for prenatal diagnosis...
