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 mutations. Microsatellite haplotypes were defined for 75 CFTR mutations carried on 437 CF chromosomes (220 for delta...
