Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, despite significant advances in conventional treatment. The field of gene therapy has progressed rapidly since the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene was cloned. In this review we discuss current knowledge on the underlying molecular defect in CF, and the progress in gene transfer studies from the early in...
