Abstract excerpt

A dinucleotide CA repeat within intron 1 of the CFTR gene has recently been identified. We have determined the allele frequencies of this polymorphism in samples from 18 populations covering all major geographical areas, with a total of 1,816 chromosomes. When considering allele distributions, African populations presented a wider range of alleles than other populations and also presented higher expected...
