Abstract excerpt
We screened for 22 cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in DNA from a first cohort of 69 CF patients from southern Italy using a semiautomated allele specific oligonucleotide (ASO) dot blot procedure based on two multiplex PCR amplifications. Seven mutations (delta F508, N1303K, G542X, 1717-1 G-->A, W1282X, 1148T, and R553X) identified 77.6% of CF chromosomes. Detection reached 79.8% with the 2183 AA-->G mutation...
