Abstract

We have identified three new frameshift mutations in the CFTR gene in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The first one involves the deletion of an adenine nucleotide in exon 4 in an African-American patient (CF444delA), the second involves the insertion of a cytosine nucleotide in exon 13 in an Italian patient (CF2522insC), and the third results from the deletion of a thymidine nucleotide in exon 19 in a Soviet patient (CF3821delT). Each mutation is predicted to result in premature termination of the CFTR protein.
