1Question

CFTR gene — defect causes CF?

Réponse

Yes, mutations impair chloride channel function.

2Question

Autosomal recessive — inheritance pattern?

Réponse

Requires two mutated copies for disease expression.

3Question

Median age of CF diagnosis?

Réponse

Approximately 23 days.

4Question

CFTR protein — role?

Réponse

Regulates ion flux across epithelial cell membranes.

5Question

Thick mucus — consequence of CF?

Réponse

Decreased ion and water transport.

6Question

Sweat chloride test — diagnostic?

Réponse

Chloride >60 mmol/L confirms CF.

7Question

Most common CF mutation?

Réponse

F508del mutation.

8Question

CFTR modulators — example?

Réponse

Ivacaftor targets specific mutations.

9Question

Lung disease hallmark?

Réponse

Mucus plugging and recurrent infections.

10Question

Pancreatic insufficiency — effect?

Réponse

Malabsorption and poor growth.

11Question

CF-related diabetes — cause?

Réponse

Pancreatic damage leading to insulin deficiency.

12Question

Male infertility — cause?

Réponse

Absent vas deferens (CBAVD).

13Question

Liver complication in CF?

Réponse

Biliary cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

14Question

CF management team?

Réponse

Multidisciplinary: doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians, etc.

15Question

CF lung infection — common pathogen?

Réponse

Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

16Question

Gastrointestinal issue — common in CF?

Réponse

Steatorrhea from pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

17Question

CFTR mutation — effect on phenotype?

Réponse

Mutation type does not strongly predict severity.

18Question

Reproductive issues in CF?

Réponse

Male infertility (absent vas deferens); female often fertile.
