Abstract excerpt
Over 200 mutations, besides the deletion delta F508, have been identified in the CFTR gene and are known to cause CF. In order to characterize the molecular defects of non delta F508 CF chromosomes of various French origin, we have combined the techniques of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and direct sequencing to screen for mutations in the whole coding sequence of the CFTR gene corresponding to...
