A rapid method for the diagnosis of the most frequent cystic fibrosis mutations in the Reunion Island is described based on a coamplification polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by a single digestion using MseI. We have used this strategy to detect the two most frequent mutations in this area: delta F508 (in exon 10) and Y122X (in exon 4). These two mutations account for 70% of the CF chromosomes. This diagnosis method, which is rapid, easy, direct, and inexpensive, allows adult and neonatal carrier screening in this population.

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
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.
