The CFTR gene has 27 exons and 26 introns. Introns are non-coding sequences that are spliced out during mRNA processing, while exons are coding sequences that are retained in the final mRNA transcript.
The EGFR gene contains 28 exons.
A mutation in the CFTR gene causes the protein CFTR to fold improperly. This mutation results in a defective CFTR protein that cannot function properly, leading to the development of cystic fibrosis.
The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator.
No, cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, not by the presence of extra chromosomes. Individuals with cystic fibrosis inherit two faulty copies of the CFTR gene, one from each parent, which leads to the production of a defective CFTR protein that affects the movement of salt and water in and out of cells.

CFTR - AM - was created in 1962.

Exons
Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)

Exons are important because they contain the genetic information needed to code for proteins. During gene expression, exons are transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Mutations or changes in exons can alter the sequence of amino acids in a protein, leading to functional changes or diseases.
The national headquarters of the CFTR is located in the city of Boston. Boston is a city that can be found in the state of Massachusetts, which is part of the United States.
Exons, after the introns have been cleaved.
Its name is CFTR and is a membrane channel for chlorine ions. Genetic defects in CFTR brings to an increased concentration of chlorine ions that lead to a greater viscosity of mucus in several mucosae in lungs and pancreas.
