Abstract excerpt
The cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene contains three highly informative microsatellites: IVS8CA, IVS17bTA, and IVS17bCA. Their analysis improves prenatal/ carrier diagnosis and generates haplotypes from CF chromosomes that are strongly associated with specific m...
