Phenotype - genotype correlation in patients with cystic fibrosis from northern Greece

Abstract

In order to study the distribution of CF mutations in northern Greece, 83 patients originated from northern Greece, were analysed initially for the 11 most common mutations (DF508, G542X, R553X, G551D, N1303K, R334W, W1282X, R117H , E822X, 621+1G>T and 1717-1G>A). The analysis allowed the identification of 66.28 % of the CF chromosomes. ΔF508 was found to be the most frequent mutation with frequency 46.98 % followed by the 621 +1G>T at a rate of 9.63 % .The high frequency of the 621+1G>T mutation in the region of northern Greece led to the association analysis of the 621+1G>T mutation with distinct haplotypes for seven polymorphic markers. Two haplotypes showed a strong association with 621+1G>T mutation (87.5 % and12.5 % respectively), while these specific haplotypes did not appear to be linked with the absence of mutation or the ΔF508, result that strengthens the origin of the mutation from Northern Greece. Next step was the screening of the 27 exons and adjacent introns, by the SSCP ...
