What is CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508?
This test looks for the common F508 (also called delta F508) change in the CFTR gene. The CFTR protein helps control salt and water flow in cells. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

When CFTR is faulty, mucus in the lungs and digestive tract becomes thick. That leads to lung infections, breathing trouble, and digestion problems.
