Cystic fibrosis (CF) is considered as a rare disease in black Africans. In fact, this disease is likely to be underestimated since clinical features consistent with CF diagnosis are often ascribed to environmental factors such as malnutrition. Very little is known about CFTR mutations in affected patients from Central Africa. We report here four novel mutations, i.e., IVS2 + 28 (intron 2), 459T > A (exon 4), EX17a_EX18del (exons 17-18), and IVS22 + IG > A (intron 22), in such patients. An update of CFTR mutations reported in black patients from various ethnies is included. These data might be helpful for genetic counselling regarding CF in black patients.

D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
