Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator) encodes a protein mainly functioning as a chloride channel that regulates chloride and sodium transport in secretory epithelial cells. The past several years with advances in DNA analysis have seen an increased knowledge of the mutational spectrum for cystic fibrosis. The functional characterization of...
