From our Case Study on Kimberly:
____________________ is a devastating illness that affects the lungs, pancreas, and intestines--
often causing them to fill with mucus.
In 1989, researchers discovered that the disease is caused by a mutation in a gene that produces a
protein that channels chloride across cellular membranes. People with two copies (or alleles) of
the mutated gene have a buildup of mucus in the lungs, intestines, and other organs due to
nonfunctioning or absent channel proteins.
Researchers have found that small-molecule drugs are able to interact directly with disease-
causing proteins, blocking their negative effects. correct answers Cystic fibrosis
