Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To determine in vivo effects of CFTR modulators on mutation S945L. METHODS: We measured effects of CFTR modulators on CFTR-dependent sweating ('C-sweat') in two pancreatic sufficient cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects. S1 (S945L/G542X) took ivacaftor and S2 (S945L/F508del) took ivacaftor+tezacaftor. Sweating was stimulated pharmacologically to produce sequentially both CFTR-independent (methacholine...
