title: Fluorescent multiplex microsatellites used to identify haplotype associations with 15 CFTR mutations in 124 Northern Irish CF families.
abstract: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene contains three highly informative microsatellites; IVS8CA, IVS17BTA and IVS17BCA. Fluorescent multiplexes of these microsatellites were assayed in 124 CF families carrying 15 different CFTR mutations, from N. Ireland.
