We report two cases of Qatari children with cystic fibrosis (CF) from different families presenting the homozygous CFTR 1521_1523delCTT (p. Phe508del) mutation with classic CF phenotypes. This gene mutation is considered the second CF mutation identified in Qatar. Herein, we review the frequency and distribution of this mutation in Arab countries.
我们报告了两例来自不同家庭的患有囊性纤维化(CF)的卡塔尔儿童,他们呈现出纯合的CFTR 1521_1523delCTT(p.Phe508del)突变以及典型的CF表型。这种基因突变被认为是在卡塔尔发现的第二种CF突变。在此,我们回顾了该突变在阿拉伯国家的频率和分布情况。
