## Communicated by Claude Ferec Cystic fibrosis (CF) is mainly caused by mutations that interfere with the biosynthetic folding of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism of dysfunction of a disease-causi
Cystic fibrosis is a common, fatal disorder caused by abnormalities in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR encodes a chloride channel that regulates secretion in many exocrine tissues. The presentation of cystic fibrosis is highly variable as measured by the age
