Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clinical phenotype varies among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with identical CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)genotype, suggesting that genetic modifiers exist. Transgenic mice that overexpress SCNN1beta present CF-like lung disease symptoms. Mutations or variants in SCNN1beta may therefore potentially modulate the clinical phenotype in CF patients. METHODS: We analysed by DHPLC SCNN1beta...
