Overview

There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].

OR

Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

OR

If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].

OR

The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].

OR

There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].

Classification

Cystic fibrosis may be classified according to CFTR protein function abnormality:[1][2]

Cystic fibrosis classification according to CFTR protein function abnormality
Class Type of abnormality Features
Class 1 Lack of production Most common mutations (Class 2 is the most common mutation worldwide)

Associated with pancreatic insufficiency

Class 2 Failure to reach the site of action due to misfolding
Class 3 Defects in gating
Class 4 Conductance Rarer mutations

Typically do not have pancreatic insufficiency

Class 5 Abnormally low channel numbers
Class 6 Decreased half-life
