Influence of SNPs in Genes that Modulate Lung Disease Severity in a Group of Mexican Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
The variation in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease not always is explained by the CFTR genotype, so it has become apparent that modifier genes must play a considerable role in the phenotypic heterogeneity of CF, so we investigated the association of allelic variants in modifier genes that modulate the severity of lung function in a group of Mexican patients diagnosed with CF.
