Neonatal screening for the cystic fibrosis main mutation delta F508 in Estonia.

Journal of medical screening - 1 Jan 1998

Klaassen T, Teder M, Viikmaa M, Metspalu A

Abstract excerpt

In this pilot study the frequency of delta F508 mutation carriers, their geographic distribution, and the prevalence of cystic fibrosis (CF) in Estonia were investigated. During the screening programme 7396 newborns were tested for delta F508 mutation and 88 were found to carry this deletion. The mean frequency of delta F508 mutation carriers in Estonia was thus estimated as 1 out of 84 live births. In eight...
