Reference Interval:
Negative: This specimen is negative for 3199de16 and confirmed positive for I148T. Consequently, the patient's I148T cystic fibrosis mutation may represent a variant of mild clinical significance. This test is specific to the 3199del6 and I148T mutations; other mutations are not ruled out.

Background Information for Cystic Fibrosis (CFTR) 3199Del6 Mutation:
Characteristics: The 3199del6 mutation is offered to individuals who have a documented I148T mutation from a previous CF mutation panel. Recent evidence indicates I148T may be a benign polymorphism unless it is located on the same chromosome (in cis) with 3199del6. I148T is represented in approximately 6 percent of CF carriers but only 0.06 percent of those affected with CF. Those with I148T who are affected with CF also have 3199del6 in cis.
Incidence of Classic CF: 1 in 3,000 Caucasians or Ashkenazi Jewish, 1 in 8,000 Hispanics, 1 in 15,000 African American, 1 in 32,000 Asians.
Carrier frequency: 1 in 25 in European Caucasians and Ashkenazi Jews, 1 in 46 Hispanics, 1 in 65 African Americans, 1 in 90 Asian Americans
Inheritance: Autosomal recessive
Penetrance: Homozygotes for 3199del6 have not been reported; therefore, the clinical severity of this mutation is unknown. However, compound heterozygotes for I148T/3199del6 and the common F508del mutation have symptoms of classical CF.
Cause: CF is caused by two CFTR mutations on opposite chromosomes
Methodology: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescent hybridization probes.
Analytical Sensitivity & Specificity: 99 percent
Limitations: This test is specific for the cystic fibrosis (CF) 3199del6 mutation. Other mutations in the CFTR gene will not be detected.
