Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed frequent naturally occurring variants in the autogene FAS in two independent cystic fibrosis (CF) patient populations. Analysis of FAS expression levels from intestinal epithelial biopsies from 16 unrelated F508del-CFTR homozygotes showed a correlation between FAS intron 2 SNP rs...
