The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene of 110 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from the south-west of Germany was screened for 12 different mutations. This analysis resulted in an identification of 79% of all CF mutations and a complete genotype in 66% of the families. The
A frame-shift 9254del5 mutation was independently identified in 12 families, eleven of them with Spanish ancestors, in a BRCA2 screening performed in 841 breast and/or ovarian cancer families and in 339 women with breast cancer diagnosed before the age of 40 at different centers in France and Spain.
We have analyzed 39 unrelated cystic fibrosis (CF) families by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and direct sequencing in order to determine the spectrum of CF mutations in our population. This approach has allowed us to detect 72 out of the 78 CF chromosomes (92.3%). The DF508 mutation
