Cystic fibrosis is the most frequent autosomic recessively inherited disease in the European population. The gene implicated in this disease was cloned in 1989 but the consequences of the biochemical defect in the cell have not been fully elucidated. To date, 500 mutations of this 230 kilobase gene have been identified. These molecular anomalies each have an effect on the encoded protein (CFTR) an ion channel which appears to play a role in regulator functions. Results of the gene cloning and research into the different mutations have led to the development of effective strategies for molecular diagnosis facilitating genetic counselling for families at risk and the identification of atypical forms of the disease.
