Cloning of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene and elucidation of the physiological functions of the encoded protein is a triumph, not only for molecular biology, but also for people affected by CF. For them, not only is there now the possibility of screening for the commonest mutations, but they may also look forward to the prospect of improved therapies being developed.
囊性纤维化（CF）基因的克隆以及对所编码蛋白质生理功能的阐明，不仅是分子生物学的一项成就，对于受囊性纤维化影响的人来说也是如此。对他们而言，现在不仅有可能筛查最常见的突变，而且还可以期待开发出改进疗法的前景。
