Abstract excerpt
Disease severity varies among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients carrying the same CFTR genotype. Here we studied the mechanism underlying disease variability in individuals carrying a splicing CFTR mutation, 3849+10 kb C-->T. This mutation was shown to produce both correctly and aberrantly spliced CFTR transcripts containing an additional cryptic exon. Semiquantitative nondifferential RT-PCR showed considerable...
