The mutation was found in exon 9 of the CFTR gene in a young boy (1 year) heterozygote for [delta]F508. He was diagnosed at birth after detection of a meconial peritonite with echography at 27 SA. Direct sequencing of exon 20 revealed a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1433 that alters the amino acid sequence from Serine to Stop codon at position 434 (S434X) in the CFTR protein.
