Abstract excerpt
We report molecular and clinical analyses in 71 unrelated patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) from Andalusia (South of Spain). Direct mutation analysis of six mutations of the CFTR gene (delta F508, G542X, R1162X, N1303K, W1182X and 1949de184) was performed. The proportion of CF chromosomes with the above-mentioned mutations was 58.5%. Haplotype analysis was performed with the marker/enzyme pairs XV2C/TaqI and...
