Comment: Cystic fibrosis is a sever autosomal recessive disease affecting 1 in 2.500 live births in the UK. The carrier frequency is 1 in 25. DNA analysis can be used to screen for the most common mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene can be used to detect 75-80% of mutant alleles by PCR. Test is especially useful in neonates and children where only 1 ml EDTA blood is sufficient
Sample: EDTA, whole blood
