Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis, a common recessive disorder of exocrine glands, is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. We describe the identification of a 32-bp deletion within the coding region of CFTR that involves the nucleotides 2991-3022 in exon 15 (2991del32). This unusual frameshift mutation was confirmed in three unrelated German families, accounting for a...
