Overview
In the late 1930s cystic fibrosis was first recognized as a disease. In 1949, Lowe and colleagues suggested this theory that cystic fibrosis must be caused by a defect in a single gene. In 1989, the CFTR gene was discovered first. In 1990, scientists successfully added cloned normal gene to cystic fibrosis cells which corrected the chloride transportion.
Historical Perspective
- In the late 1930s cystic fibrosis was first recognized as a disease. This term was used to describe the characteristic cyst formation and fibrosis observed in the pancreas.
- In 1949, Lowe and colleagues suggested this theory that cystic fibrosis must be caused by a defect in a single gene. (based on autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance)
- In 1989, the CFTR gene was discovered first.
- In 1990, scientists successfully added cloned normal gene to cystic fibrosis cells in the laboratory, which corrected the chloride transportion. The gene therapy technique was then tried on a limited number of CF patients.[1][2]
- In 1996, approximately 500 mutations for cystic fibrosis had been detected.[3]
