Genetic homogeneity of cystic fibrosis

Abstract: We studied large Amish/Mennonite/Hutterite kindreds that segregate cystic fibrosis (CF) for linkage between CF and the polymorphic DNA markers pJ3.11 and 7C22 located on chromosome 7. These inbred pedigrees consist of more than 300 members including 30 affected individuals. In these families, linkage between the CF locus and the chromosome 21 marker D21S5 and between CF and the marker at the met oncogene locus on chromosome 7 had been previously indicated. We now report linkage between CF and pJ3.11 (Z = 4.92,… Show more

“…Seventeen two-generation nuclear families each with two (11 families) or three (6 families) affected children were also used in the linkage analysis. The establishment in these families of linkage between the loci and markers COLIA2, EPO (erythropoietin), PON, D7S8, MET, and CF has been reported (28,37,38).…”

“…Discovery of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which when mutated causes cystic fibrosis, is one classical example in that regard. It took years and many different laboratories to map, clone and finally sequence the gene (Beaudet et al, 1989, Duncan et al, 1988, Eiberg et al, 1985, Estivill et al, 1987, Kerem et al, 1989, Klinger et al, 1986, Knowlton et al, 1985, Mayo et al, 1980, Riordan et al, 1989, Rommens et al, 1989, Scambler et al, 1985, Tsui et al, 1985, Wainwright et al, 1986, Wainwright et al, 1985, Watkins et al, 1986, Zielenski et al, 1991) before the information became available for routine patient care. Upon completion of the human genome project with the resultant public dissemination of vast amounts of generated data, it became possible to imagine interrogating tens of thousands of genes for mutation detection or gene expression at the same time in an individual laboratory.…”
