Abstract excerpt
The Hutterite population is a genetic isolate with an increased incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF). Previously we identified three CF haplotypes defined by polymorphisms flanking the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. delta F508 was present on one of the haplotypes in only 35% of CF chromosomes. We hypothesized that the other two CF haplotypes, one of which was the most common and the other of...
