Abstract excerpt
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a common problem in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), the etiology of which is multifactorial. In this study, we provide the first evidence that ivacaftor improves BMD in CF patients carrying the p.Gly551Asp mutation. Consistently, in vitro experiments with TNF-α-stimulated primary F508del-CFTR osteoblasts demonstrated that correction of p.Phe508del-CFTR markedly decreased RANKL...
