Cystic fibrosis

The Lancet, 2021
Cystic fibrosis is a monogenic disease considered to affect at least 100 000 people worldwide. Mutations in CFTR, the gene encoding the epithelial ion channel that normally transports chloride and bicarbonate, lead to impaired mucus hydration and clearance. Classical cystic fibrosis is thus characterised by chronic pulmonary infection and inflammation,

Cystic Fibrosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2016
Cystic fibrosis is a common life-limiting autosomal recessive genetic disorder, with highest prevalence in Europe, North America, and Australia. The disease is caused by mutation of a gene that encodes a chloride-conducting transmembrane channel called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which regulates anion transport and ...

Cystic Fibrosis

Pathology Patterns Reviews, 2003
On a daily basis, pathologists examine the fundamental basis of human diseases using morphologic, immunologic, and molecular techniques. Cystic fibrosis (CF), as a clinically heterogeneous disease, exemplifies the complex challenges of genetic diseases for the pathologist who attempts to explain the mechanisms of disease and provide rationale for ...

Cystic fibrosis

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in CFTR, the gene encoding cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The discovery of CFTR in 1989 has enabled the unravelling of disease mechanisms and, more recently, the development of CFTR-directed therapeutics that target the underlying molecular defect.

Cystic fibrosis

The Lancet, 2009
Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal genetic disease in white populations. The outlook for patients with the disease has improved steadily over many years, largely as a result of earlier diagnosis, more aggressive therapy, and provision of care in specialised centres.

Cystic Fibrosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by variants in the gene encoding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR dysfunction results in abnormal chloride and bicarbonate transport in epithelial cells, leading to a multiorgan disease dominated by respiratory and digestive ...

Cystic fibrosis

Current Problems in Pediatrics, 1993
The past few years have seen amazing progress in our understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular bases of CF. This new understanding has raised hopes for improved treatments in the very near future. These new treatments are expected to improve even further the prognosis for survival in this disorder, which has improved nearly 1 year for ...
