Cystic fibrosis is a common, fatal disorder caused by abnormalities in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR encodes a chloride channel that regulates secretion in many exocrine tissues. The presentation of cystic fibrosis is highly variable as measured by the age

We have evaluated a two-tier neonatal cystic fibrosis (CF) screening of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) followed by CFTR gene mutation analysis using a systematic scanning of exons 7, 10, and 11, and, if necessary, by direct DNA sequencing. Over an 18-month period we screened 32,300 neonates born i
