It is proposed that excessive and/or aberrant function of cytochromes P450, due to a combination of genetic and environmental influences, is the basic defect in cystic fibrosis. Organs that are involved in oxidative detoxification reactions in foetal life are thus at risk: tissue damage is initiated by excessive production of oxygen free radicals which deplete cellular antioxidants and provoke the secretion of mucus.
