Five different mutations have been identified in the gene causing cystic fibrosis (CF) through sequencing regions encompassing exons 1–8, including the 5′ untranslated leader. Two of these apparent mutations are missense mutations, one in exon 3 (Gly to Glu at position 85; G85E) and another in exon 5 (Gly to Arg at 178; G178R), both causing significant changes in the corresponding amino acids in the encoded protein—cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Two others affect the highly conserved RNA splice junction flanking the 3′ end of exons 4 and 5 (621+ 1G→ T, 711+ 1G→ T), resulting in a probable splicing defect. The last mutation is a single-basepair deletion in exon 4, causing a frameshift. These five mutations account for the 9 of 31 non-ΔF508 CF chromosomes in our Canadian CF family collection and they are not found in any of the normal chromosomes. Three of the mutations, 621+ 1G→ T, 711+ 1G→ T, and G85E, are found in the French-Canadian population, with 621+ 1G→ T being the most abundant (5 7). There are two other sequence variations in the CFTR gene; one of them (129G→ C) is located 4 nucleotides upstream of the proposed translation initiation codon and, although present only on CF chromosomes, it is not clear whether it is a disease-causing mutation; the other (R75Q) is most likely a sequence variation within the coding region.
