Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a gene resulting in changes to a protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells. The result is thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Which application of genetic engineering is a promising treatment for cystic fibrosis? Gene therapy.
