We report the clinical features of 21 unrelated cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from Portugal and Spain, who carry the mutation R1066C in the CFTR gene. The current age of the patients was higher in the R1066C/any mutation group (P < 0.01), as compared to the aF508/aF508 group. Poor values for lung ra

## MUTATION NOTES nucleotides downstream the original splice site in intron 3. Assuming that this would be used in the patient as donor splice site, the inclusion of 4 intronic nucleotides, frameshift, and thereby an immediate termination of translation would occur, most likely resulting in a null
The mutation described here has been detected in the DNA of a female cystic fibrosis (CF) patient born in May 1963. CF has been diagnosed only at the age of 30 years and has been confirmed by three positive sweat tests. She does not require supplementation with pancreatic enzymes and her pulmonary f
