Mutation Details for c.550delC

cDNA Name c.550delC 
Protein Name p.Leu184PhefsX5 
Exon or Intron exon 5 
Legacy Exon or Intron exon 5 
Legacy Name 681delC 
Other Details This mutation was detected by SSCP analysis of DNA amplified by PCR using the following primers: 5i-5s; 5'-CCTGAGAAGATAGTAAGCTAG-3' and 51-3; 5'-AACTCCGCCTTTCCAGTTGT-3' (315bp fragment). This frameshift creates termination codon (TAG) at the fifth triplet from the site of deletion. The deletion does not create or destry any restriction site. The mutation was found in one among 272 CF chromosomes (186 non-[delta]F508 chromosomes). The mutation on the other chromosomes of the patient carrying the frameshift is R334W, which has been recognized as a mild allele in our previous studies. This genotype is in agreement with PS status of the patient.
