چکیده

Source/Description: A polymorphic region consisting of repeats of the dinucleotide (GT), was identified with a (CA),0 oligonucleotide probe in a cosmid (1) containing the KM. 19 and CS.7 probe fragments near the CFTR gene (2). A fragment containing the polymorphic region, and lying approximately 3 kb centromeric to the CS.7 probe fragment (3), was cloned and sequenced (EMBL # X60680) to reveal the exact nature of the repeat and its flanking sequence.

Analysis of c.3369+213TA[7-56] and D7S523 microsatellites linked to Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator.

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder affecting principally respiratory and digestive system . It is caused by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of repeat numbers and the degree of heterozygosity for c.3499+200TA(7_56) and D7S523 located in intron 17b and 1 cM proximal to t...

Mutation 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...

Dinucleotide repeat polymorphism at the human liver-type 6-phosphofructokinase (PFKL) gene.

Source and Description: Direct genomic sequencing revealed a C to A polymorphism 65 nucleotides in front of exon 19 (nucleotide 3601-65) of the CFTR gene that is causative defective in cystic fibrosis (CF) (1). This polymorphism generates cleavage sites for Hinfl and MboII and is useful as an intragenic marker for the assignment of marker haplotypes of known CF mutations and for carrier screeni...

O-48: Heterogenous Spectrum of CFTR GeneMutations in Indian Patients with CongenitalAbsence of Vas Deferens

Background: Mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene can cause congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens. Yet, the spectrum and frequency of CFTR mutations in Indian males with congenital absence of vas deferens (CAVD) is unknown. Materials and Methods: We investigated 50 Indian males, diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral absence of vas deferens at t...
