Abstract excerpt
CFTR is an anion channel that causes cystic fibrosis (CF) when its activity, equal to channel number x open probability x conductance (n·PO·γ) is absent or nearly so. CFTR modulators increase CFTR activity, but estimates of in vivo efficacy vary. This review shows how values from the simple and widely used sweat chloride test can be calibrated to provide more accurate estimates of CFTR activity as a percent of...
