The disease cystic fibrosis is the result of a mutation in the gene that encodes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR), a channel protein that allows chloride to exit the cell. A partial sequence of the CFTR gene is shown below, with the correct reading frame indicated. The most serious form of the disease results from the deletion of three consecutive nucleotides, as shown. 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 normal gene sequence GAA AAT ATC ATC TTT GGT GTT TCC TAT...
