Advances in molecular genetics have now established that Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is due to DNA variations which modify the sequence, structure, function and/or expression of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. To date over 885 such variations have been described. However, worldwide 65% of all CFTR gene mutations are a result of the DF508 mutation.
