4/17 individuals (approximately 25% of cases) were found to suffer in fact from pseudo-Bartter syndrome resulting from congenital chloride diarrhea due to a novel homozygous mutation in the SLC26A3 gene, Pendred syndrome due to a known homozygous mutation in SLC26A4, Cystic Fibrosis (CF) due to a novel mutation in CFTR and apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome due to a novel homozygous loss of function mutation in HSD11B2 gene.1 case (5%) remained unsolved.

40 CF patients and 40 normal individuals were screened for poly T polymorphism in intron 8 of CFTR gene using Reverse Dot Blot method which was also used to detect p.Phe508del among CF patients.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and defective expression of CFTR protein in epithelial cells.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common recessively inherited disorders in Caucasian populations and is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by inherited mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-regulated chloride channel expressed in epithelial tissues.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a systemic autosomal recessive inherited disorder that results from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and is characterised by pancreatic insufficiency and chronic bronchopulmonary infection.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by different mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorder in Caucasians, and in some populations 70% of cases are associated with a 3 base pair (bp) deletion (delta F508) in the CFTR gene.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease severity is characterized by a broad variability that has been attributed, in addition to the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotype, to modulating factors such as CFTR-mediated residual chloride (Cl-) secretion.
