Screening for five mutations detects 97% of cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes and predicts a carrier frequency of 1:29 in the Jewish Ashkenazi population.

To determine the distribution and frequency of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in the Israeli population, we have screened 96 patients for 11 relatively common mutations. Five mutations--delta F508, G542X, W1282X, N1303K, and 3849 + 10kb C-->T--were found to account for 97% of the CF alleles in th...
