The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cAMP-activated chloride channel, and in individuals with both alleles of the gene mutated, symptoms of CF disease are manifest. With more than 300 mutations so far described in the gene the profile of mutant alleles in a p

β¦ Synopsis
Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal disorder in the Caucasian population. Since the description of the major mutation of this disease in 1989, over 150 of additional mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene. This update summarizes the different mutations identified and reported before March 15 by members of the international Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Analysis Consortium. The report includes information on DNA sequence variations found in the gene.

## Communicated by Lap-Chee Tsui German cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes were screened for molecular lesions in exon 20 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene by chemical cleavage of mismatch. An 3884G-to-A transition was detected in two patients which leads to an e
Cystic fibrosis, the most common lethal genetic disease in the white population, is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Analysis of DNA from a pancreatic insufficient patient by chemical mismatch cleavage and subsequent DNA sequencing led to th
