Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is a generalized, familial disorder exhibiting a marked ethnic variation. This paper presents the first two cases of this disorder reported in the American Indian population. The family pedigrees of these patients are described and certain genetic aspects of this disease are discussed briefly. Possible anthropological reasons for the occurrence of this disease in this racial group are mentioned.
