Cystic fibrosis in Spain: high frequency of mutation G542X in the Mediterranean coastal area.

abstract：:Sphingolipid activator protein (SAP) deficiency, previously described in two sibs and shown to be caused by the absence of the common saposin precursor (prosaposin), was further characterized by biochemical lipid and enzyme studies and by ultrastructural analysis. The 20-week-old fetal sib had increased concentrations...
