β¦ Synopsis
We have studied 72 families with at least one child with cystic fibrosis (CF); they were referred because they had requested pre-natal diagnosis in a future pregnancy. The AF508 mutation was found in 108/140 CF chromosomes (77%). In 41/72 families (57%), both parents carried a deleted chromosome and the child was doubly deleted, In only 4 families, 2 of them being consanguineous, did neither parent carry a deleted chromosome. Meconium ileus was associated with children who were AF508/AF508, &F508/non-deleted and non-deleted/ non-deleted.

A representative multicenter cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation analysis on about half of all known cystic fibrosis patients of the 5 East German LΓ€nder is reported. Analyses for 17 mutations, among them Delta F508, R553X, G542X, S549R,N,I, G551D, S1255X, R347P,H, and Y122X, were performed. As expected,
