Abstract excerpt
The major mutation in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene is a 3-bp deletion (delta F508) in exon 10. About 50% of the CF chromosomes in Southern Europe carry this mutation, while other previously described mutations account for less than 4%. To identify other common mutations in CF patients from the Mediterranean area, we have sequenced, exon by exon, 16 chromosomes that did not show the delta F508 deletion from a...
