Welcome to the Clinical and

CFTR2 is a website designed to provide information about
specific cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations to patients, researchers, and the general public.
For each mutation included in the database, the website will provide information about:
-
Whether the mutation causes cystic fibrosis when combined with another CF-causing mutation, and
-
Information about the sweat chloride, lung function, pancreatic status, and pseudomonas infection rates
in patients in the CFTR2 database with this mutation.
