ID | Second CFTR mutation identified after sequencing |
Amino acid conservation* | Functional consequence | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | TG12-5T | NA | Missplicing–loss of exon 9 from CFTR transcript |
Cuppens et al 199835 Groman et al 200436 |
2 | S492F | Conserved in mammalian orthologues except platypus |
None described | Ferec et al31 Wine et al 200139 |
3 | P205S | Conserved in mammalian orthologues |
Defective biosynthesis, decreased amount of fully glycosylated CFTR |

4, 5 | 711+3 A→G | NA | Missplicing–loss of exon 5 from CFTR transcript |
This study (figure 2) |
Sequences were obtained from GenBank. Mammalian orthologues included macaque, mouse, rat, dog, cat, cow, platypus, opossum, guinea pig, and rabbit. Amino acid alignment was generated using ClustalW.
