Cystic Fibrosis

Eligibility:

All Genders

9-80 years

Brief Summary

This study will examine 1) the role of hereditary factors in cystic fibrosis; i.e., the relationship of the disease to specific gene variations, and 2) the role of bacterial products involved in lung ...

Detailed Description

Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are susceptible to chronic bacterial colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which results in deterioration of lung function and, eventually, death. In this study...
