pubmed-article:3993376 | pubmed:abstractText | The incidence of cystic fibrosis among the Australian born children of parents born in Italy was 1:3 625 live births and among Australian born children of parents born in Greece 1:3 726. These incidences were significantly lower than the incidence for cystic fibrosis of 1:2 021 in children born to Australian born parents, about 90% of whom have ancestors born in the British Isles. The figures suggest there are significant variations in the incidence of cystic fibrosis in different European populations. | lld:pubmed |
