Identification of the I507 deletion by site‐directed mutagenesis

Identification of the I507 deletion by site‐directed mutagenesis We describe a compound heterozygous Δ‐F508/Δ‐I507 cystic fibrosis patient. Molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐mediated site‐directed mutagenesis showed the 219 bp fragment observed in Δ‐F508 homozygotes. The father showed a Δ‐F508 heterozygous pattern while the mother and sister showed a normal pattern. There were four possibilities to explain these results: a) the patient was a Δ‐F508/Δ‐I507 compound heterozygote, because the Δ‐I507 allele fails to amplify when analyzed with Δ‐F508 primers due to a double mismatch between the primers and template; b) uniparental isodisomy; c) nonmaternity; and d) sample processing mix‐up. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A Wiley

Abstract

We describe a compound heterozygous Δ‐F508/Δ‐I507 cystic fibrosis patient. Molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐mediated site‐directed mutagenesis showed the 219 bp fragment observed in Δ‐F508 homozygotes. The father showed a Δ‐F508 heterozygous pattern while the mother and sister showed a normal pattern. There were four possibilities to explain these results: a) the patient was a Δ‐F508/Δ‐I507 compound heterozygote, because the Δ‐I507 allele fails to amplify when analyzed with Δ‐F508 primers due to a double mismatch between the primers and template; b) uniparental isodisomy; c) nonmaternity; and d) sample processing mix‐up.
