Lessons learned from metabolomics in cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a mono-genetic multi-system disease; however, respiratory manifestations cause the main morbidity and mortality where chronic bacterial infections lead to bronchiectasis and ultimately respiratory failure. Metabolomics allows a relatively complete snapshot of metabolic processes in a sample using different mass spectrometry methods. Sample types used for discovery of biomarke...

Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) by dried blood spot immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) assay is now feasible, but the benefits are disputed. We have studied the symptoms and signs at diagnosis in 48 babies detected during a newborn screening programme, and also the delay between presentation with symptoms and diagnosis in all 33 babies diagnosed at our CF clinic in the two years before scr...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis from genotype to phenotype: review article
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive genetic disease, which is caused by defection in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR gene codes chloride channels to modulate the homeostasis of epithelial environments. Defective CFTR affects various organs such as the lungs, pancreas, intestine, liver and skin; however, lung impairment is the mai...
