The frequencies of the deltaF508 deletion, the most common cystic fibrosis mutation in Europeans and European-derived populations, and the XV2C and KM19 restriction fragment length polymorphisms that are tightly linked to the CFTR locus vary among populations. To determine the distribution of these extragenic markers and of the deltaF508 mutation, we analyzed 326 chromosomes of individuals from two South American Indian populations, the Guarani and the Kaingang. The allele and haplotype frequencies differed greatly between the two populations as well as among Amerindians and normal European Brazilians and European Brazilian cystic fibrosis patients. The absence of the deltaF508 mutation and the B haplotype are in agreement with the hypothesis that the deltaF508 mutation occurred after the divergence of these two populations. This finding is useful for populations containing a large Amerindian component and helps us to understand the origins of the deltaF508 deletion, the most common cystic fibrosis mutation in Europeans and European-derived populations, as well as the different incidences of cystic fibrosis in continental groups.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D001938 Brazil A country located on the eastern coast of South America, located between Colombia and Peru, that borders the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, on the south by Uruguay, and on the west by Argentina. The capital is Brasilia.
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.
