Analysis of CFTR Gene Mutations in Children with Cystic Fibrosis, First Report from North-East of Iran
Objective(s): More than 1500 registered mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene are responsible for dysfunction of an ion channel protein and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was performed to investigate the frequency of a number of well-known CFTR mutations in North Eastern Iranian CF patients. Material and...
متن کاملPrevalence of Cystic Fibrosis Trans-membrane Conductance Regulator Gene common mutations in children with cystic fibrosis in Isfahan, Iran
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disorder of Cystic Fibrosis Trans-membrane Conductance (CFTR) Regulator gene mutations. We aimed to investigate common mutations in CF patients and to assess its possible relationship with clinical presentations. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 36 CF patients who were referred to a tertiary ped...
متن کاملNovel CFTR Mutations in Two Iranian Families with Severe Cystic Fibrosis
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder that affects many body systems and is produced by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CF is also the most frequently inherited disorder in the West. The aim of this study was to detect the mutations in the CFTR gene in two Iranian families with CF. Methods: After DNA extractio...
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...
متن کاملErratum: Heterogeneous Spectrum of CFTR Gene Mutations in Korean Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common hereditary disorders among Caucasians. The most common mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been well established among Caucasian populations. In Koreans, however, there are very few cases of genetically confirmed CF thus far, and the spectrum of mutations seems quite different from that o...
