The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cAMP-activated chloride channel, and in individuals with both alleles of the gene mutated, symptoms of CF disease are manifest. With more than 300 mutations so far described in the gene the profile of mutant alleles in a p
Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal disorder in the Caucasian population. Since the description of the major mutation of this disease in 1989, over 150 of additional mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene. This update summarizes the different mutations identified and reported befor
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised as a single-gene disorder with a simple, autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. However, translation of CFTR genotype into CF phenotype is influenced by nucleotide sequence variations at multiple genetic loci, and individuals heterozygous for CFTR mutations ar
