Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current modulator therapies for some cystic fibrosis-causing CFTR mutants, including N1303K, have limited efficacy. We provide evidence here to support combination potentiator (co-potentiator) therapy for mutant CFTRs that are poorly responsive to single potentiators. METHODS: Functional synergy screens done on N1303K and W1282X CFTR, in which small molecules were tested with VX-770, identified...
