We report the identification of a new frameshift mutation (936delTA) in exon 6b of the CFTR gene. In the screening of 486 unrelated Spanish CF patients we found a patient homozygous for 936delTA (with consanguineous parents) and a patient heterozygous for delta F508 and 936delTA. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies showed that 936delTA is associated with pancreatic insufficiency and chronic pulmonary colonisation.
我们报告了在CFTR基因第6b外显子中鉴定出一种新的移码突变(936delTA)。在对486名无血缘关系的西班牙囊性纤维化(CF)患者进行筛查时,我们发现一名患者为936delTA纯合子(父母为近亲),以及一名患者为ΔF508和936delTA杂合子。基因型-表型相关性研究表明,936delTA与胰腺功能不全和慢性肺部定植有关。
