An example of a restriction fragment length polymorphism is

an Eco RI cuts DNA at a different sequence than Hind III
different length fragments of DNA resulting from loss or gain of a restriction site
All of these
cystic fibrosis results from a three base deletion in most cases but in other cases, other mutations are involved

Some genetic diseases cannot be diagnosed by changes in restriction sites. Some of these can be detected by allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. These are

PCR-amplified variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs)
short sequences that will hybridize only to a specific base sequence
copies of the gene with an altered sequence so that a restriction site is inserted
mutagenized copies of a gene
