Abstract excerpt
We have searched for the delta F508 mutation in 77 Norwegian cystic fibrosis patients. Of the 154 chromosomes tested, 93 (60%) carried the delta F508 mutation. Haplotypes at the D7S23 locus (KM19 and XV2C markers) were determined. Of 81 chromosomes with the F508 mutation, the B haplotype was found on 77. We found three patients with the G551D and one patient with the R553X mutation in exon 11 of the CFTR locus.
