Three Novel CFTR Polymorphic Repeats Improve Segregation Analysis for Cystic Fibrosis
14 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular diagnosis for cystic fibrosis (CF) is based on the direct identification of mutations in the CFTR gene [cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ATP-binding cassette sub-family C, member 7)] (detection rate about 90% with scanning procedures) and on segregation analysis of intragenic polymorphisms for carrier and prenatal diagnosis in about 20% of CF families in which 1 or both...
