Abstract excerpt
The PCR technique was used in a study of the linkage of cystic fibrosis mutations and a polymorphic (GATT)n repeat in intron 6 of the CFTR gene. Absolute linkage disequilibrium was found between the common delta F-508 mutation and the (GATT)6 allele. This allele was also in linkage disequilibrium with other unidentified mutations in the CFTR gene resulting in the pancreatic insufficient form of disease. The...
