    Detection of over 98% cystic fibrosis mutations in a Celtic population

    We have conducted a large systematic study of 365 cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes in a Celtic population from Brittany, France, in which we have been able to identify more than 98% of the cystic fibrosis gene...

    A novel mutation in exon 3 of the CFTR gene

    We have screened the 27 exons of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene in 87 non-ΔF508 chromosomes of Breton origin using the combined techniques of denaturing gradient gel electrophores...

    Retrospective study of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in Guthrie cards from a large cohort of neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis

    The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cAMP-activated chloride channel, and in individuals with both alleles of the gene mutated, symptoms of CF disease are manifest. Wit...

    Complete detection of mutations in cystic fibrosis patients of Native American origin

    An increased incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) has been reported in some populations of Native Americans of the Southwest such as the Pueblo, which is a genetic isolate. As the most common mutation found in Ca...

    Neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis: result of a pilot study using both immunoreactive trypsinogen and cystic fibrosis gene mutation analyses

    We have evaluated a two-tier neonatal cystic fibrosis (CF) screening of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) followed by CFTR gene mutation analysis using a systematic scanning of exons 7, 10, and 11, and, if nece...

    Neonatal screening of cystic fibrosis: diagnostic problems with CFTR mild mutations

    Newborn screening (NBS) of cystic fibrosis (CF) was implemented throughout the whole of France in 2002, but it had been established earlier in three western French regions. It can reveal atypical CF with one o...

    P4.05: Polycystin Deficiency Results in Complete Loss of No Synthesis During Sustained Flow-Mediated Dilatation of Conduit Arteries in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Possible Reversal by Dopamine

    Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is due to mutations in genes PKD1 and PKD2 encoding polycystin-1 and -2, which transduce flow variations into cellular signals in the renal epithelium but a...
