Abstract
The most common worldwide mutation for cystic fibrosis (CF) is deletion F508 (dF508). Patients homozygous for this mutation have a significantly lower median survival compared to patients carrying other mutations. In the era of newborn screening the diagnosis of patients is relatively easy and fast, while in countries without screening we rely on the clinical presentation.
