Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common Caucasian lethal genetic disorder (with gene frequency of 1 in 25) in the USA, where 4–5 % of population have at least one CF allele. CF affects approximately 1 in 2,500 live births among Caucasians, 1 in 17,000 among African-Americans, and 1 in 90,000 among Asians (Ruzal-Shapiro 1998).
