Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder caused by different mutations in the CFTR gene. The exact prevalence of CF in Arab countries is unknown, but F508 del mutation is common. We present a case of a CF patient with negative genetic testing for common mutations but a novel mutation was identified on CFTR gene sequencing.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by different mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. It is the most common inherited disorder in the Caucasian population, with around 2000 mutations identified for the CFTR gene. The precise prevalence of CF in Arab countries remains unknown, with the prevalence of F508 del found to be a common type with other endemic mutations.We describe the case of a CF patient who was diagnosed at the age of seven years. She presented post-cardiac surgery for further evaluation for a recurrent chest infection and subtle dysmorphic features. CF genetic testing for the most common 31 mutations (CF panel) was negative, and a novel mutation was identified on CFTR gene sequencing.
