Incidence of the possible SNP configurations (transition vs. transversion) among>1000 SNPs, many of which have been implicated in clinical CF (http://www.genet.sickkids.on.ca/cftr/app). p values indicate a bias towards transition based on an assumption of equal probability for any individual base replacement. Transition:transversion ratio = 1.2.
#p = 1.3×10−56 for transition SNPs.
