* The delay in publishing this mutation is because the original letter was lost somewhere between Rome and Toronto in the FAX line.
2. DNA sequence polymorphism elsewhere in the CFTR gene:

3. Correction: The correct name for the 876-5T->G mutation (NL#46) should be 876-10del8 (see letter from Ghanem and Goossens); my sincere apology.
4. The next general meeting for the consortium will be held in Dublin during the International CF Conference, September 22-27, 1992. The exact time and place will be announced later.
5. Since the switch to our new telephone system, I have been notified by some members that there were occasional problems with our FAX machine. In order to find out what is wrong, please let me know immediately if you have any problems. Also, please note that our new FAX number is (1) 416-813-4931. The old numbers 598-7505 and 591-4931 are no longer in service.
Best regards,
