Abstract excerpt
Biallelic pathogenic variants in CFTR manifest as cystic fibrosis (CF) or other CFTR-related disorders (CFTR-RDs). The 5T allele, causing alternative splicing and reduced protein activity, is modulated by the adjacent TG repeat element, though previous data have been limited to small, selective cohorts. Here, the risk and spectrum of phenotypes associated with the CFTR TG-T5 haplotype variants (TG11T5, TG12T5,...
