Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene result in cystic fibrosis, a multiorgan disease characterized by aberrant epithelial cell fluid secretion. Recent studies describe a connection between CFTR malfunctioning and a heightened susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we outline these links and suggest directions for further studies.
囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)基因突变会导致囊性纤维化,这是一种多器官疾病,其特征是上皮细胞液分泌异常。最近的研究描述了CFTR功能障碍与结直肠癌(CRC)易感性增加之间的联系。在此,我们概述了这些联系,并提出了进一步研究的方向。
