Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Gene Mutations in Ethnic Chinese With Chronic Pulmonary Disease

PURPOSE: CFTR mutations are well studied in Caucasian populations, but data on the spectrum of mutations and genetic polymorphisms in Asian populations are only just emerging. This study aims to explore the correlation of CFTR mutations with chronic pulmonary disease in the ethnic Chinese population of Singapore.
