How much CFTR is enough? Pancreatic Insufficient CF Pancreatic Sufficient Carriers Normal ≈ 30% CFTR activity associated with symptom reduction Adapted from Accurso et al JCF 2013 in press
CF is Not One Genetic DisorderCFTR mutation classes Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- X X X X X Normal Class I synthesis Class II maturation Class III regulation Class IV conductance Class V quantity ‘severe’ mutations ‘mild’ mutations pancreatic insufficiency pancreatic sufficiency Adapted from http://www.umd.be/CFTR/W_CFTR/gene.html
So, there must be mutation specific treatment approaches Reduced Quantity Reduced Function Normal CFTR quantity and function Little to no CFTR Some CFTR Gating Conductance Class I Class II Class III Class IV Class V Treatment approaches Correctors Potentiators MacDonald et al.
