Meconium ileus in a Lebanese family secondary to mutations in the GUCY2C gene.

Abstract excerpt

Meconium ileus is most often associated with mutations in the CFTR gene; however recently, mutations in GUCY2C in the Bedouin population have also been shown to result in this phenotype. This gene codes for an intestinal transmembrane receptor that generates cyclic GMP, which activates cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor. We report a third family that supports the association of variants in the GUCY2C gene...
