A cystic-fibrosis mutation in a certain pedigree is due toa single nucleotide-pair change. This change destroys anEcoRI restriction site normally found in this position.How would you use this information in counseling members of this family about their likelihood of being carriers? State the precise experiments needed. Assume thatyou find that a woman in this family is a carrier, and ittranspires that she is married to an unrelated man whoalso is a heterozygote for cystic fibrosis, but, in his case, itis a different mutation in the same gene. How would youcounsel this couple about the risks of a child’s having cystic fibrosis?
