    Abstract:
    In 237 French families with cystic fibrosis (CF) restricted fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were detected by two DNA probes, XV-2c and KM-19, which are tightly linked to the CF allele. As in other European populations linkage disequilibrium is found between the haplotype B (XV-2c, allele 1: KM-19, allele 2) and the CF allele. Linkage disequilibrium alters the probability that a person bearing a given haplotype is a carrier.
