New research out of the University of Iowa is reshaping what it means to live with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

If you and your partner both are carriers for CF, it doesn’t necessarily mean your child will have CF. But it will likely still affect your pregnancy. Genetic disorders range widely from long-term yet ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorders that has been well studied. Researchers have identified CF-causing mutations in a gene called CFTR, which encodes for an ion channel. The genetic ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by a genetic mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes for an ion channel. This channel sits in ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...

A new study from Johns Hopkins finds that some patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) lack any of the more than 1,000 reported disease-causing mutations in the only known CF gene. Scheduled for ...

This video excerpt from NOVA examines the promise and realities of developing drugs designed to treat genetic disorders. The video presents the story of one patient, Michael McCarrick, whose lungs ...

Using an updated version of a recently developed technology called MaMTH-HTS (Mammalian Membrane Two-Hybrid High-Throughput Screening) that allows the detection of membrane-associating factors ...

While genome sequencing may be the new kid on the block--perhaps now with a cracking voice and fuzzy facial hair--predicting phenotypes is the stuff of classical genetics, honed on the rare ...

Caleigh has struggled most of her life with a difficult lung disease, but she never lets it get the best of her.

On Wednesday, providers from Highland Hospital made another donation to support global efforts to treat cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes ...
