Note: The mutation 876-5T->G reported by Costes et al. (May 27) is almost the same as 876-14del12 reported by Férec et al. (June 22), according to their original description. The same applies to 457TAT->G reported by Férec et al. (June 12) and 458delAT reported by Glavac et al. (June 17). The four reporting groups may want to re-examine their sequencing gel to make sure that the alterations are indeed different. Different symbols have been assigned for the time being.
*** There is no symbol given to the large deletion reported by Morrals et al. Please make suggestions. If there is no innovative name, I would simply call it CFdel#1.
2. DNA sequence polymorphisms/variations in the coding region:
Nucleotide position Amino acid change Exon Reference
641 (G or A) Arg->His at 170 5 Devoto M, Rady M,
Ronchetto P, Pia Russo
M, Romeo G (May 22)
3. DNA sequence polymorphism elsewhere in the CFTR gene:
Description Location Reference
3271+42A->T intron 17a Cuppens H, Marynen P and
Cassiman JJ (June 15)
3272-93T->C intron 17a Glavac D, Ravnik-Glavac
M, Komel R, Dean M (June
15)
4. Correction:
H1054D, C->G at 3292 not H1054R (Férec et al., NL#45) Apology from Ferec et al.
5. A CF mutation screening report was mailed to all members of this consortium on June 18. Some of you might have received it already. If you fail to get it within the next while, please let me know. Please let me know of any mistakes in the table, as there are inevitably errors in transferring such a large set of data.
6. An up-to-date list of mutations in the CFTR gene is attached to this newsletter. Please let me know of any corrections or new references.
