Abstract excerpt
A majority of cystic fibrosis (CF) genes (70 to 75%) share a single mutation, but the remaining 25 to 30% of defects are accounted for by more than 20 different mutations. One of the less frequent mutations, G551D, has been identified in the CF genes of two sibs and one unrelated adult patient. The adult patient also has a second rare mutation, delta I507. All three subjects exhibit a less severe phenotype than...
