Abstract excerpt
CFTR exon 10 and its flanking regions are duplicated in the human genome. These duplications present mutations compared to the normal exon 10 sequence. Due to the polymorphic sequence of the 3' intron 9 sequence, it may appear difficult to sequence exon 10 and some mutations described in this exon could, in fact, be variations observed in an ectopic duplicated sequence. In our previous work we described a...
