Abstract excerpt
The recent discovery of the cystic fibrosis gene enables DNA-based testing for the direct identification of the deletion of three basepairs coding for phenyalanine at codon 508, the major mutation responsible for the disease. This mutation can be detected by analysis of amplified DNA with allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. We have simplified the procedure of Kerem et al. (Science 1989;245:1073-80) so that...
