Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common and lethal genetic disease affecting various organs such as lungs, pancreas and intestine. The intestinal disease severity widely varies among patients and plays a critical role as it regulates body weight gain, the characteristic growth deficit of these patients which is of great importance as it predicts for lung disease and survival. Modifier genes, apart from the disease causative gene, regulate the intestinal phenotype. Our objective was to use CF mice to identify genes or pathways influencing the severity of CF intestinal disease to better our understanding of the disease pathogenesis and to provide genes for clinical investigation.We made use of the CF mouse model, as they also present the low body we...
