Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein, a chloride channel located in the epithelial cell membrane. Over than 2,000 CFTR mutations have been identified, which contribute to the variety of clinical phenotypes of CF. We performed a case-control study to determine p.Met470Val (M470V), p.Thr854= (T854) and p.Gln1463=...
