Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The identification by CFTR mRNA studies of a new deep-intronic splicing mutation, c.870-1113_1110delGAAT, in one patient of our series with mild CF symptoms and in three CF patients of an Italian study, led us to evaluate the mutation frequency and phenotype/genotype correlations. METHODS: 266 patients with CF and related disorders and having at least one undetected mutation, were tested at the gDNA...
