  2. Cystic fibrosis: a historical timeline 1938 Cystic fibrosis (CF) of the pancreas was described by Andersen. The sweat defect was discovered by diSant'Agnese and colleagues when they noticed that many of the infants presenting with heat prostration during the “great summer heat wave” in New York City had CF. Cystic fibrosis was identified as an autosomal recessive disease. The fundamental physiologic defects were clearly established by Knowles and colleagues and Quinton as the failure of cAMP regulation of chloride transport. The genetic defect for CF was located on chromosome 7. The gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was identified by positional cloning. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator was established to be a cAMP-regulated chloride channel by complementation studies. 1953 1965 1983 1985 1989 1990
