Lentiviral Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis: A Promising Approach and First-in-Human Trial.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. Although CF is a multiorgan disease, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality are related to progressive lung disease. Current understanding of the effects of the broad spectrum of CFTR mutations on CFTR function has allowed for the development of CFTR modulator therapies....
