Abnormal viscosity of mucous secretions is a hallmark of the disease, and is believed to be the result of altered electrolyte transport across epithelial cell membranes. The monogenic etiology of this disease has been apparent for more than 40 years, but the defective gene has only recently been identified. This was made possible because of a revolution in genetic… CONTINUE READING
