Connexin Genotypes in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic FibrosisInflammationBackground: There is wide variety in lung disease phenotype for the delta F508 (homozygous) genotype. A leukocyte driven inflammation is most important for the pathogenesis of pulmonary disease in CF. Blood cytokines correlate negatively with pulmonary function in delta F508 homozygous patients. Gap junction proteins might be of importance for the influx of blood cells into the lung and may influence the course of pulmonary inflammation. A primary analysis (Horn et al. 2020) has shown that GJA4 variants (rs41266431) are linked to more severe disease in CF. This is very similar to variants of MBL. Aims: To assess the relationship between gap junction proteins alpha 1 (GJA1/Connexin 43) and alpha 4 (GJA4/connexin 37) genotypes and clinical disease phenotype. Moreover are GJA4 variants in terms of clinical phenotype independent of MBL variants. Methods:Patients homozygous for delta F508 get recruited from the CF centres of Bonn, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Sequence analysis is performed for connexin 43 and 37 and MBL genotypes. Clinical disease is assessed longitudinally over 3 years by pulmonary function tests (FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second), FVC (=(forced vital capacity), FEF75 % (Forced expiratory flow at 75% of the pulmonary volume) pred), BMI (percentiles), P. aeruginosa colonization, diabetes mellitus and survival to end-stage CF lung disease (death or lung transplantation).
Comparison Between Ultra-low-dose Computed Tomography and Lung MRI in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic FibrosisThe purpose of this study is to compare the performances of ultra-low dose computed tomography (CT) and lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for morphological assessment of cystic fibrosis-related lung disease and to compare their performances to conventional low dose CT
