Abstract excerpt
More than 250 mutations have been detected in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene, most of which are single point mutations or small deletions or insertions of a few nucleotides. Here we report the first large deletion identified in the CFTR gene, which involves 50 kb in two stretches of DNA: one of 10 kb from exon 4 to exon 7, and another of 40 kb, spanning exons 11 to 18. The deletion...
