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...
