An understanding of the basic defect in the inherited disorder cystic fibrosis requires cloning
of the cystic fibrosis gene and definition of its protein product. In the absence of direct
functional information, chromosomal map position is a guide for locating the gene.
Chromosome walking and jumping and complementary DNA hybridization were used to
isolate DNA sequences, encompassing more than 500,000 base pairs, from the cystic
fibrosis region on the long arm of human chromosome 7. Several transcribed sequences …

An understanding of the basic defect in the inherited disorder cystic fibrosis requires cloning of the cystic fibrosis gene and definition of its protein product. In the absence of direct functional information, chromosomal map position is a guide for locating the gene. Chromosome walking and jumping and complementary DNA hybridization were used to isolate DNA sequences, encompassing more than 500,000 base pairs, from the cystic fibrosis region on the long arm of human chromosome 7. Several transcribed sequences and conserved segments were identified in this cloned region. One of these corresponds to the cystic fibrosis gene and spans approximately 250,000 base pairs of genomic DNA.
