Active cascade testing for carriers of cystic fibrosis gene.

BMJ (Clinical research ed.) - 4 Jun 1994

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the acceptability, practicability, efficiency, and application of active screening for carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene in the extended families of those in whom the disease is present (Cascade screening). DESIGN: Paediatricians and physicians provide details of their affected patients, pedigrees are drawn up, and relatives offered tests after initial contact by the affected nuclear...
