Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The effect of complex alleles in cystic fibrosis (CF) is poorly defined for the lack of functional studies. OBJECTIVES: To describe the genotype-phenotype correlation and the results of either in vitro and ex vivo studies performed on nasal epithelial cells (NEC) in a cohort of patients with CF carrying cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) complex alleles. METHODS: We studied 70...
