(mar 22)
4. A DNA sequencing artifact was noted at around nucleotide position 4005+1 by H. Cuppens, P. Marynen, J.J. Cassiman (Mar 22); more careful analysis showed that 4005+1GTGA->TCAG did not exist. As a general caution, consortium members are advised to confirm all DNA sequence alterations by an independent method (such as restriction enzyme digestion or ASO hybridization) in addition to sequencing.
5. The journal Human Heredity welcomes submission of mutation reports from the CF Genetic Analysis Consortium members (see letter from L.P. ten Kate).
6. An updated list of CF mutations is attached.
