Candidate and genome-wide approaches have identified biologically plausible gene modifiers of lung disease severity, neonatal intestinal obstruction and diabetes in cystic fibrosis. Annotation of variants in CFTR will increase the utility of genetic testing in newborn screening, carrier testing and diagnosti...
The ciliary dyskinesia substances (CDS) were first demonstrated in 1967, and the cystic fibrosis protein (CFP) in 1973. Only one other potential marker for CF genotypes has been identified, namely, an endopeptidase with trypsin-like activity that is found in normals but not in CF homozygotes....

Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetically inherited and potentially fatal disease. In the Western world, 1 in 23 people carry the defective gene. This article outlines the genetics of CF and its mode of inheritance and examines what types of carrier screening are available. The carrier fre...
What causes cystic fibrosis? People with CFinheritedtwo copies of a defective or mutated CF gene, meaning each parent was a carrier for CF. Called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, this mutation prevents the CFTR protein from working properly. ...
摘要原文 It is good medical practice to offer carrier tests and counselling to the relatives of those affected by recessive disorders. Many are concerned about their own chances of having affected offspring. Cystic fibrosis carrier tests have been feasible since the discovery of the gene in 1989....
Carrier screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been available since the early 1990s, yet there are few programs, and none funded as part of a national health care strategy. The aim of this paper is to provide a description of carrier screening for CF and examine the progress that has been...
Sonographic findings linked to cystic fibrosis include echogenic bowel, nonvisualization of the gallbladder, and dilated bowel; however, none are diagnostic. Prenatal carrier screening should be made available to all patients regardless of ethnicity, and invasive prenatal diagnostic testing should be ...
