The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator.
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
It is caused by a gene mutation in the single gene on chromosome 7 that produces a protein known as CFTR.
yes it is. The the gene involved is known (CFTR) The tissues affected are known it is autosomal recessive
none, CFTR is intron free.
They isolated functional CFTR gene. Then they inserted the CFTR gene into nondisease-causing adenovirus virus. Last, they infected the patient´s airway cells with virus carryinhg the healthy CFTR gene.

Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.

I used to do a level biology and saw this question and thought I recognised it. the CFTR gene is something to do with cystic fibrosis. the simple answer is no. The CFTR gene is not in everyone. roughly 25% of the worlds population do have it though. however as it is a recessive alleule you need two genes (both parents) for it to become dominant in someone (their child) This may not be entirely correct it could be that everyone has it but some are mutated versions. I cant remember entirely. :S Chris
Offspring of someone with altered lung cells will inherit the normal CFTR gene.
CFTR - AM - was created in 1962.
none, CFTR is intron free.
