## 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 CFTR intron 8 variable length polythymidine tract modulates the cystic fibrosis (CF) phenotype associated with the mutation R117H. To explore whether other mutations reside on multiple intron 8 backgrounds with discernible impacts on phenotype, we developed an allele-specific PCR assay to charac
