Abstract excerpt
We have determined the frequency of the major cystic fibrosis (CF) three base pair deletion (delta F508) mutation in 152 CF chromosomes from patients originating from the northern part of The Netherlands. In these patients, the deletion represents approximately 76% of CF mutations. Meconium ileus is strongly associated with homozygosity for the delta F508 mutation. The XV2c,KM19 haplotypes on the CF chromosomes...
