Abstract excerpt
We have analysed 972 unrelated Spanish cystic fibrosis patients for 70 known mutations. Analysis was performed on exons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6a, 6b, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14a, 14b, 15, 16, 17b, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene using single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. The major mutation delta F508 accounts for 50.6% of CF...
