BACKGROUND: High TGFβ1-producing variants cause severe clinical disease in F508del homozygous patients. Lately, we showed that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs41266431, in the GJA4 gene modifies the disease severity of cystic fibrosis (CF). Our aim was to investigate whether the clinical phenotype associated with GJA4 variants was independent of TGFβ1 variants. METHODS: Homozygous F508del patients (n =...
