Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In cystic fibrosis (CF), genotype-phenotype correlation is complicated by the large number of CFTR variants, the influence of modifier genes, environmental effects, and the existence of complex alleles. We document the importance of complex alleles, in particular the F508C variant present in cis with the S1251N disease-causing variant, by detailed analysis of a patient with CF, with the...
