In cystic fibrosis (CF), relationships between genotype and phenotype have been shown for pancreatic status but not for pulmonary disease. One hundred and ten adult CF patients were classified according to the expected effect of their mutations on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein: Group 1 (n=48) included deltaF508 homozygotes; Group 2 (n=26), patients with two "severe" mutations...
