Cystic Fibrosis is an an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene codes for a protein which is an ion transport protein in the epithelial surfaces of lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sweat ducts and vas deferens. The article describes and discusses prenatal, pre-conception and pre-implantation mutation analysis of the CFTR gene.

Abstract
Cystic Fibrosis is an an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene codes for a protein which is an ion transport protein in the epithelial surfaces of lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sweat ducts and vas deferens. The article describes and discusses prenatal, pre-conception and pre-implantation mutation analysis of the CFTR gene.
