Abstract:
The linkage relationships between the cystic fibrosis locus and six marker loci allowed us to build 122 haplotypes bearing the CF gene and to compare them to the 122 normal haplotypes. We obtained 13 different marker haplotypes associated with the CF chromosomes and 22 with the normals in our population. To examine the possibility of a correlation between the clinical and the genetical polymorphism of the disease haplotype analysis was carried out taking in account age at diagnosis, severity of the disease and a particular clinical subgroup such as meconium ileus or pancreatic sufficiency. The results showed that a particular haplotype (121) is predominant in the severe form of the disease. This may have implication in diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...
