Abstract excerpt
It is estimated that about one in 24 Belgian Caucasians is a cystic fibrosis (CF) heterozygote. Until now, CF heterozygotes can only be identified by genetic decoding (e.g. Inno-Lipa CF2 test), as they cannot be phenotypically distinguished from the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in salivary electrolyte concentrations (calcium, bicarbonate, chloride, potassium, sodium and...
