Measurements of CFTR-Mediated Cl(−) Secretion in Human Rectal Biopsies Constitute a Robust Biomarker for Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosis and Prognosis

BACKGROUND: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by ∼1,900 mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encoding for a cAMP-regulated chloride (Cl(−)) channel expressed in several epithelia. Clinical features are dominated by respiratory symptoms, but there is variable organ involve...
