Abstract excerpt
In European populations, large rearrangements contribute to approximately 2% of CF mutations. Here, we reported a novel duplication, the CFTRdup2, identified in a patient heterozygous for Phe508del and suffering from a mild CF. Using a combination of functional tests, we studied the impact of duplication/deletion on CFTR expression. We showed that the copy number variations of exon 2, in addition to abolishing...
