Abstract excerpt
Incidence of delta F508, a severe mutation of the CFTR gene is found to be 36.3% in paraffin block cystic fibrosis liver tissues. Samples are histologically grouped according to severity of pancreatic involvement. Two families where delta F508 was detected postmortem and who have no living children, will have the chance for a prenatal diagnosis in the future pregnancies.
