Cystic fibrosis (CF) is always a common lethal genetic disease. The locus is localized to human chromosome 7q22-7q31. Genetic linkage between the CF locus and polymorphic DNA marker is used to realize family studies. We have genotyped 56 families (352 patients) with a CF child. The informativeness with the six markers (Met D/Taq I, Met H/Taq I, Met H/Msp 1, XV2c/Taq 1, km19/pst pJ 3.11/Msp 1) is important (96%). The linkage desequilibrium between alleles detected by XV2 c and Km 19 described by Estivill and al, is also showed in our population. The haplotype B (Km 19 = 6.6 kb, XV2 c = 2.1 kb) is present on 84% of our 112 CF chromosomes. We have established the frequencies of the 10 possible genotypes in the pool of the 112 CF chromosomes and in the pool of the normal chromosome and according to Bayes obtained the predictive positive value to be heterozygote. It is possible to precise the genetic counselling in these families.

The gene for the alpha i1 subunit of human guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein was mapped by in situ hybridization to chromosome 7 at band q21. The regional chromosomal location of the human alpha i1 gene was confirmed using human/mouse somatic-cell hybrid lines containing portions of human chromosome 7. Because the alpha i1 gene mapped near the cystic fibrosis locus and because an abnormal G protein might be expected to contribute to the pathophysiology of this disease, the alpha i1 gene was mapped with respect to the cystic fibrosis locus as defined by the Met oncogene and anonymous DNA marker pJ3.11. The location of the alpha i1 gene proved to be distinct from that of the cystic fibrosis locus.
