Sequence analysis of the cystic fibrosis gene in patients with disseminated bronchiectatic lung disease. Application in the identification of a cystic fibrosis patient with atypical clinical course.

Abstract excerpt

The diagnosis of classical cystic fibrosis (CF) is easily made by clinical assessment alone, but may be missed or delayed in cases with an atypical clinical course. In a recent major study the age at diagnosis varied between 2 months and 47 years. For diagnostic purposes we have investigated the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene in 10 adult patients (age 18 to 45 years) with chronic obstructive...
