Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations have been identified in Slovenian CF patients using single‐stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. The entire coding region and all of the splice junction sites were screened in 24 patients. By varying the electrophoretic conditions and composition of the gel, 16 different nucleotide changes have been observed in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Three newly described mutations and four previously reported mutations were found. In addition two new polymorphisms have been identified. Of 35 non‐ΔF508 chromosomes examined, mutations were detected on 25.7%, raising the proportion of Slovenian CF alleles characterized to 67.5%. Because of the high sensitivity of the SSCP technique most of the remaining uncharacterized CF mutations probably lie in large introns, promoter sequences, or putative regulatory regions not yet analyzed.Keywords
