Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disease that is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The recent development of a class of drugs called "correctors", which repair the structure and function of mutant CFTR, has greatly enhanced the life expectancy of CF patients. These correctors target the most common disease causing CFTR mutant F508del and are...
