Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive genetic disorder among Caucasians. The improvement of genetic techniques has allowed the identification of an increasing number of genetic variants, including large rearrangements such as duplications. We report the first case of a whole CFTR gene duplication in a healthy newborn, who had normal sweat test, also carrying R74W and V855I variants on...
