Abstract
More than 500 different mutations have been described to date on the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene (1). The most frequent mutation is the so-called ΔF508 mutation, which accounts for 30–50%;of CF chromosomes in southern European countries and for 50–80%; of CF chromosomes in the United States, Canada, Argentina, and central and northern European countries
