Analysis of the complete coding region of the CFTR gene in a cohort of CF patients from North-Eastern Italy: identification of 90% of the mutations
A complete coding-region analysis on 225 cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes from a cohort that includes all the affected subjects born in two North-Eastern Italian regions over eight years was performed. In a pr...
