摘要

AbstractCystic fibrosis, the most common lethal genetic disease in the white population, is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Analysis of DNA from a pancreatic insufficient patient by chemical mismatch cleavage and subsequent DNA sequencing led to the identification of a potential splice mutation in the CFTR gene. A transition of the invariant guanosine to adenosine (1898+1G>A) was found at the splice donor site of intron 12. To determine the effect of this mutation on the patient's CFTR transcripts, RNA from the nasal epithelium was reverse transcribed and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Direct sequencing of the PCR products revealed that the transcript from the chromosome with the 1898+1G>A mutation had skipped exon 12 entirely, resulting in a joining of exons 11 and 13. Deletion of exon 12 results in the removal of a highly conserved region which encodes the Walker B consensus sequence of the first nucleotide‐binding fold of CFTR. © 1992 Wiley‐Lis
