    Abstract

    Cystic fibrosis is the most common potentially lethal autosomal recessive disease of Caucasians, affecting 1 in 2500 newborns. Since the recent identification of the gene that is defective in patients with cystic fibrosis, a wealth of information about gene structure, the mutational basis of disease, and the function of the protein product has been derived. The product of the gene is a chloride channel that is regulated by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation and that requires binding of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for channel opening. Several new approaches to drug therapy for cystic fibrosis are now emerging, and the possibility of successful gene therapy by transfer of the normal gene to airway epithelial cells is being vigorously pursued.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Gene (OMIM)
        Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
      • OMIM (cited)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as reference cited at the end of the OMIM record.
      • Protein (Weighted)
        Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • Substance (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
