Comments by Richard C. Boucher, University of North Carolina Cystic Fibrosis-Pulmonary Research and Treatment Center.
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene was isolated as the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) in 1989. By 1993, gene therapy treatments for patients with CF began in earnest. While early studies reported some success with gene transfer, experimental flaws cast doubt on those results. In 1995, Richard C. Boucher, a professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), would publish a model clinical study ...
