Cystic fibrosis in Pueblo Indian children.

Description: 

Three Pueblo American Indian children with cystic fibrosis are described. The three cases constitute a higher incidence of cystic fibrosis in Pueblo Indians than would be expected from the known rarity of this disease in American Indian populations. This report discusses the possible genetic implications and emphasizes the need to consider the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in American Indians with appropriate symptoms.
