Little has been reported on the occurrence of cystic fibrosis in Algerian population. In order to contribute to the few existing data we undertook this study. The aim was in first instance to detect genetics alteration in the CFTR gene of 21 CF Algerian patients by sequencing. 14 different mutations were detected one of them
