Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You know better than us that cystic fibrosis is an important genetic disease caused by a myriad of CFTR gene mutations and that the sweat chloride test, genetic testing, prenatal/preconception testing, and newborn screening are different ways to obtain a diagnosis. In recent years, novel drugs have dramatically changed the symptoms and, therefore, the lives of many cystic fibrosis patients who are allowed to take them. Moreover, the median age of treated patients is reducing over time thanks to new legislations. What's more, a lot of patients without F508del will hope to be allowed to take these new medications.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original articles, reviews, brief reports about the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cystic fibrosis.
