Abstract excerpt
The DNA sequences of seven regions in the human genome were examined for sequence identity with exon 9 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which is mutated in cystic fibrosis, and its intronic boundaries. These sequences were 95% to 96% homologous. Based on this nucleotide sequence similarity, PCR primers for CFTR exon 9 can potentially anneal with other homologous sequences in...
