Abstract excerpt
Variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which causes cystic fibrosis, have become increasingly well-characterized in recent decades. However, clinicians remain challenged by CFTR variants that result in variable expressivity and reduced penetrance, including the variant R117H (c.350G>A) and the intron 9 poly-thymidine (poly-T) and poly-thymidine-guanosine (TG) tracts,...
