Cystic fibrosis: basic science.

Abstract excerpt

Advances in the elucidation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) function have resulted in a greater understanding of the relationship between the CF gene defect and clinical disease. The clinical phenotype is influenced by the class of mutation and possibly by other modifier genes. CFTR regulates the volume and composition of airways surface liquid, primarily by controlling chloride ion transport....
