Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) generally suffer from chronic obstructive lung disease,
pancreatic insufficiency (PI), and a number of other exocrine malfunctions. Approximately …

We showed elsewhere that the pancreatic function status of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients
could be correlated to mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited disease among Caucasians. It is caused
by defects in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a …

Abstract Background and Methods. Both the clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis and the
genotypes of patients are heterogeneous, but the associations between the two are not …

Although the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) has yet to be identified, a great deal
has already been learned about the mutations of this autosomal reces-sive disorder. The …

We present the genotype/phenotype correlation analysis for 16 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients
who carry mutation R334W. Current age and age of diagnosis was significantly higher in the …

In view of the possible relation between pancreatic function and cystic fibrosis (CF) gene
mutations, a detailed study on Italian patients was performed. Seventy pancreatic insufficient …

Approximately 70 percent of the mutations in cystic fibrosis patients correspond to a specific
deletion of three base pairs, which results in the loss of a phenylalanine residue at amino …

Background & Aims: Pancreatitis is known to occur in some patients with cystic fibrosis (CF),
but the prevalence, natural history, and genotypic basis are unclear. We examined a well …

A cohort of 31 cystic fibrosis patients showing pancreatic sufficiency and bearing an
unidentified mutation on at least one chromosome was analyzed through denaturing …
