Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: At the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (IVS8)-(TG)m(T)n locus, a lower number of thymidines (legacy names 9T vs. 7T vs. 5T) and a higher number of (TG) repeats (TG-11 vs. 12 vs. 13) are associated with decreasing translation of functional CFTR protein in vitro.
