BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disorder that has been associated with mutations in the CFTR [cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ATP-binding cassette sub-family C, member 7)] gene. Hundreds of CFTR mutations have been detected to date. Current CFTR genotyping assays target a subset of these mutations, particularly a mutation panel recommended by the American College of...
