The data of genetic and clinical examination of 32 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) from 31 unrelated Chechen families living in Chechnya were analyzed. High frequencies of c.1545_1546delTA and c.274G> A (more than 90% of mutant alleles) was detected. The c.274G> A mutation is associated with a less severe CF course than homozygotes with the c.1545_1546delTA mutation. Testing of these two options is proposed as the first step in the DNA diagnosis of CF in Chechen population.
