Analysis of 40 known cystic fibrosis mutations in South African patients.

Abstract excerpt

A total of 140 South African (SA) Caucasoid cystic fibrosis (CF) families were analysed for the common CF mutation, delta F508. The 52 non-delta F508 CF chromosomes in a subset of 127 of these families were also tested for 39 other known CF mutations. The most frequent mutation, apart from delta F508 (which occurs at a frequency of 79%), was G542X (1.3%). Four other mutations, R553X, S549N, 621 + 1G-->T and...
