TABLE 1.

Estimates of locations of the CF-causing allele, as taken from Morriset al. (2002)

Method	Estimate	Variability	Comments
Terwilliger (1995)	770	690–870 (99.9% support interval)
McPeek and Strahs (1999)	950	440–1460 (95% confidence interval)	Pairwise correction
Morris et al. (2000)	800	610–1070 (95% credible interval)	Pairwise correction
Liu et al. (2001)	—	820–930 (95% credible interval)
Morris et al. (2002)	850	650–1000 (95% credible interval)
LATAG	867	814–920 (95% credible interval)

The ΔF508 mutation, which is responsible for 66% of all CF cases, is located at position 885. Only estimates that are based on the entire data set are presented.
