Low frequency of the delta F508 mutation in Finno-Ugrian and Baltic populations.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Wennberg C, Kucinskas V

Abstract excerpt

The frequency of carriers of the delta F508 mutation at the cystic fibrosis (CF) locus was studied in population samples of Finns, Lithuanians, Saamis (Lapps) and Swedes from northern Sweden. The carrier frequencies in northern Sweden (1:200) and in Lithuanians (1:143) were significantly lower than in southern Scandinavia (Denmark; 1:38). No delta F508 carriers were found in Finns (n = 171) and Saamis (n = 151)....
