La fibrosis quística (FQ) es una enfermedad genética. Escuche las presentaciones de los expertos, el Doctor Fadel Ruiz, director del centro de fibrosis quística de Baylor y el Doctor Carlos Milla, director del centro de fibrosis quística de Stanford y sus respuestas a las principales preguntas de la comunidad sobre terapias genéticas para la FQ. El panel fue moderado por Sylvia Mazuera, madre de dos hijos, el menor de los cuales tiene FQ.
Quarterly visits to a CF Foundation-accredited care center are the foundation of your treatment plan. By partnering with your care team, you can also adjust your treatment plan as new therapies become available, or your needs change over time.
Daily CF treatments take time, patience and persistence. But the benefits of managing your treatment plan outweigh the drawbacks so that you can achieve more of your personal goals.
mRNA therapy is one way to deliver the correct genetic instructions to cells, which would allow them to make functional CFTR protein regardless of an individual’s CF mutations.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in both copies of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Scientists are examining whether it is possible to correct the mutations through a process called gene editing.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene responsible for producing the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. For this reason, scientists are exploring ways to provide a correct copy of the gene to treat CF.
