Figure 1 Newly characterized CFTR gene rearrangements. NCCF 105: This sequence depicts a novel complex deletion of exons 4 to 7 with a small, 4-bp insertion. NCCF 4033643: This sequence illustrates a novel duplication of exons 6b to 8. Exon listing is according to legacy numbering. CFTR rearrangements are relatively common in nonwhites and often are different from those in whites. As such, they are an important genotyping consideration in nonwhite CF patients.
