Abstract

Genetic information is currently lacking to build solid population?based cystic fibrosis (CF) screening programs. A large proportion of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR; MIM #602421) gene are still unknown, especially in Turkish population. The purpose of this study is to describe the distribution of CFTR mutations found in Turkish CF population using multiple mutation sources and stepped mutation analysis.
