XV-2c and KM.19 haplotype analysis in Chilean patients with cystic fibrosis and unknown CFTR gene mutations.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. More than 1600 mutations have been described, with frequencies that differ worldwide according to the ethnic origin of patients. A small group of mutations are recurrent on several populations. It has been shown that they each tend occur on specific chromosome 7 haplotypes, supporting the notion of a single origin for them. Less than...
متن کاملAnalysis of CFTR Gene Mutations in Children with Cystic Fibrosis, First Report from North-East of Iran
Objective(s): More than 1500 registered mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene are responsible for dysfunction of an ion channel protein and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was performed to investigate the frequency of a number of well-known CFTR mutations in North Eastern Iranian CF patients. Material and...
متن کاملNovel CFTR Mutations in Two Iranian Families with Severe Cystic Fibrosis
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder that affects many body systems and is produced by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CF is also the most frequently inherited disorder in the West. The aim of this study was to detect the mutations in the CFTR gene in two Iranian families with CF. Methods: After DNA extractio...
متن کاملMutation and Rare Polymorphisms Insight in Exons 7 and 20 of CFTR Gene in Non-Caucasian Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by a wide spectrum of mutations in the gene encoding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The frequencies, types and distributions of mutations vary widely between different populations and ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of the C...
متن کاملFrequency of the delta Phe508 mutation and correlation with XV.2c/KM-19 haplotypes in an American population of cystic fibrosis patients: results of a collaborative study.
The cystic fibrosis (CF) gene has been recently cloned, and a deletion of 3 basepairs (bp) of DNA was found on most of the CF chromosomes. This deletion leads to the synthesis of a protein that lacks a phenylalanine residue at position 508. Using two polymerase chain reaction protocols to study the frequency of this mutation in a series of 192 CF patients, we found the mutation on 72% of affect...
