Cystic fibrosis mutations with widely variable phenotype: the D1152H example.

Abstract excerpt

D1152H is a type IV cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) mutation associated with abnormal chloride gating. Although comprising 5-6% of mutations on genetic screening, clinical reports of cystic fibrosis (CF) are rare, suggesting that the disease is mild, atypical, or even absent. We describe our experience, which contrasts with this assumption, in a retrospective case series encompassing 91 CF patients...
