You have a patient in your clinic presenting symptoms of cystic fibrosis. You screen their CFTR gene for mutations, and find the following list: CFTR 320 L V CFTR 341 S W CFTR 528 E D CFTR 976 F Q CFTR 1235 S R Which mutation(s) are likely causing cystic fibrosis in this patient? You also sequence a newborn family member of this patient. They have all of these same mutations, other than the one at position 976, and no other mutations in CFTR.

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
