3. Dicky Halley raised the question about R75Q (see her letter of August 28). Anyone who is interested in sharing some insight on this subject, please write to Dicky and copy to me. Use e-mail if possible.

4. The consortium report will appear soon: The Cystic Fibrosis Analysis Consortium (1994). Population variation of common CF mutations. Human Mutation 4: 167-177. Anyone who is interested in receiving information from Wiley

5. Consortium meeting in Montreal: A short meeting is tentatively scheduled on Wednesday, October 19, immediately after Garry Cutting's symposium, entitled "What happens after cloning a gene: CFTR as an example". It is probably the most logical time to have the meeting. We need to discuss: (a) continuation of the Consortium; (b) format of reports and newsletter; (c) Steering committee; (d) electronic database; (e) future plans. Unfortunately, I do not plan to go to Orlando.

6. Please use e-mail for communication as much as possible. My address is cfdata@sickkids.on.ca.
