متن کاملCystic Fibrosis: How do CFTR mutations cause cystic fibrosis?
Two major discoveries have transformed our understanding of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease in which thick secretions accumulate in airways, digestive organs and sperm duct. The first was that cystic fibrosis involves a basic defect in epithelial ion transport [1], which is manifested primarily as the loss of chloride conductance [2]. The connection between the loss of epithelial chloride co...
