CF Patients’ Response to Kalydeco Impaired by Single Variants in SLC26A9 Gene, Study Reports

Single nucleotide polimorphisms (or variants), known as SNPs — the most common type of genetic variation — in the SLC26A9 gene are linked to poorer lung responses to Kalydeco in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, a French study reports. The study, “SLC26A9 Gene Is Associated With Lung Function Response to Ivacaftor in Patients With…
