Abstract excerpt
The discovery last year of the deletion of a phenylalanine residue at amino acid position 508 of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene has meant that approximately 70% of mutant chromosomes associated with CF can be accounted for. We report the finding of a substitution at nucleotide position 4041 of the CF gene, resulting in a change from asparagine to lysine at amino acid position 1303. We believe that this is a...
