If you and your partner both are carriers for CF, it doesn’t necessarily mean your child will have CF. But it will likely still affect your pregnancy. Genetic disorders range widely from long-term yet ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorders that has been well studied. Researchers have identified CF-causing mutations in a gene called CFTR, which encodes for an ion channel. The genetic ...

While genome sequencing may be the new kid on the block--perhaps now with a cracking voice and fuzzy facial hair--predicting phenotypes is the stuff of classical genetics, honed on the rare ...

When it comes to diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF), gene editing—a process that alters the biological properties of cells—can be fundamental in driving treatment. But as promising as it is in lab ...
