    Abstract:
    Using Southern blotting and the polymerase chain reaction, the prevalence of the haplotypes for XV2c, CS7, KM19 and D9 on CF and on normal chromosomes could be determined in 35 Belgian families. A set of primers complementary to the DNA sequence of the CF gene around the delta F508 deletion was used to amplify this particular segment of the gene. In a total of 57 families, deletion screening showed that 69 out of 116 CF chromosomes (59.5%) carried the delta F508 deletion. Both the delta F508 deletion and another mutation(s) showed strong association with the haplotype 1-2-2-2.
