Relations between the frequency of the DeltaF 508 mutation and the course of pulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis patients infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

The course of pulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis is variable. There are controversial data on the impact of the type of mutation on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on the course of pulmonary disease in CF. Since selected mutations of the CFTR gene appear to be associated with relatively mild disease, this study addressed the question whether the course of pulmonary disease in...
