Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis may be revealed by nasal polyposis (NP) starting early in life. We performed cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) DNA and mRNA analyses in the family of a 12-year-old boy presenting with NP and a normal sweat test. Routine DNA analysis only showed the heterozygous c.2551C>T (p.Arg851*) mutation in the child and the father. mRNA analysis showed partial exon skipping due to...
