Seven patients compound heterozygous for the 3849 + 10kb C --> T mutation in the CFTR gene were found among the 152 patients attending the CHLA CF Clinic. The frequency of this mutation accounts for 2.3 and 3.9% of thetotal and Hispanic CF alleles of CHLA patients. These are significantly higher than the 0.6% of the general CF population. The average age of diagnosis of this group of Hispanics is 3.1 years, which is much younger than that reported for CF patients of other ethnicities with the same mutation. Both pancreatic sufficient and pancreatic insufficient patients were observed. It is concluded that the 3849 + 10kb C --> T mutation is associated with a variable but potentially mild type of CF.

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
D010188 Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency A malabsorption condition resulting from greater than 10% reduction in the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes (LIPASE; PROTEASES; and AMYLASE) by the EXOCRINE PANCREAS into the DUODENUM. This condition is often associated with CYSTIC FIBROSIS and with chronic PANCREATITIS.

D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is 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.
