     Extractions: Am. J. Hum. Genet. 51:1443-1444, 1992 Address for correspondence: Walter E. Nance, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Human Genetics, Medical College of Virginia, Box 33, MCV Station, Richmond, VA. Address for reprints: Elaine Strass, Executive Office of ASHG 9650 Rockville Pike, Suite 3500, Bethesda, MD 20814. The identification in 1989 of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene and its most common mutation immediately raised the possibility of CF carrier detection by DNA analysis. The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) issued a statement recommending that CF carrier testing should be made available to individuals with a family history of CF (American Society of Human Genetics Board of Directors 1990). It was also stated that screening of individuals or couples in the general population should not be offered until the rate of CF carrier detection improves. An additional prerequisite emphasized the need for the establishment of effective educational and counseling programs consistent with previous widely accepted principles. An NIH workshop, convened in February 1990, reached similar conclusions (NIH Workshop on Population Screening for the Cystic Fibrosis Gene 1990). The statement of the workshop was endorsed by ASHG. Since then, substantial progress has been made in defining the mutational basis of the disease and the basic biochemical defect. As recommended by the NIH workshop, pilot projects to study the complex issues involved in offering CF carrier detection to the general population of the United States have been initiated, but substantive results are not anticipated for at least 2 years. Other pilot projects are underway in Canada and Europe. Interest in CF carrier screening has expanded in the medical community, the biotechnology industry, and the public. Accordingly, the ASHG Ad Hoc Committee on Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Screening reassessed the issues surrounding CF carrier detection.

     Extractions: With your help we can find a cure H ELLO. My name is Brandon Hargroves. I have Cystic Fibrosis, which is a very serious disorder that affects my life. It is genetic so you can't "catch" it. At birth I had three surgeries and had about a third of my intestines removed. I have had 6 sinus surgeries and will soon have another one. I take many medicines. I can't digest my food without my enzymes. I spend between 2 to 3 hours each day doing breathing treatments. I take lots of medicines and antibiotics. I take Pulmozyme and TOBI, which are both VERY expensive. I have had many IVs for about 2 weeks each - both at home and the hospital. I got a port-a-cath in March of 2001. Someday I may have to have a lung transplant. I am trying to save up money for my medical expenses. If you would like to help please email my mom or dad at our email address and we will email you back how you can help. Thank you for reading about "Brandon's World". Don, Sherry, and Brandon Hargroves: Learn more about Cystic Fibrosis: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disorder in the United States and there is no cure. It affects children and young adults causing chronic infections. If you would like to help find a cure or learn more about CF you can contact the following sources:

     Extractions: The treatment for CF is based upon the clearance of thick airway secretions, using chest percussion (e.g. clapping hands on the back and chest), inhaled treatments, and exercise. Antibiotics that fight the particular bacteria found in CF are used when the amount of infection in the chest becomes problematic, and may be administered by mouth, inhaled, or intravenously. The maintenance of proper nutrition is also essential, and requires a high calorie diet, supplementation of certain vitamins, and the use of enzymes that help to digest meals.

It has about 2,500 inhabitants. Under the impulsion of Tom and Sabine, parents of a cystic fibrosis patient, "Tildonk tegen Muco" came to life. In 1996, the first drive for the benefit of cystic fibrosis patients was a big success. How did "Tildonk tegen Muco" came to life? When, in November 94, we learned that our son Jurgen was affected with cystic fibrosis we realized, through questions from different persons, that few knew about that disease. Only those with medical background and closed affected friends knew what is was all about. When the national press published our story at the end of 1995, our goal was outreached. The biggest goal with " Tildonk tegen Muco " was and still is to familiarize people with what cystic fibrosis really is. The money received from all activities in 1996 went entirely to : $4,750 went to the "Belgische Vereiniging voor de strijd tegen Mucoviscidose" (Belgian Association for the fight against cystic fibrosis), who will use the money to support further research.

     Extractions: Nonaerobic exercise helps kids with cystic fibrosis Last Updated: 2004-05-14 16:31:49 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children with mild-to-moderate cystic fibrosis, a serious congenital disease that affects the lungs and other organs, appear to be benefit from an nonaerobic exercise program, new research suggests. Such exercise seems to improve their quality of life. In contrast to aerobic exercise, nonaerobic exercise doesn't cause an increase in the heart rate or breathing rate. A common example is weight lifting. Although the benefits of regular aerobic exercise have been demonstrated in children with cystic fibrosis, nonaerobic exercise in this population has not received much attention, the authors write in the medical journal Chest. Dr. Janjaap van der Net and colleagues from University Medical Center, Utrecht, the Netherlands, randomly assigned 20 patients to a training group or a comparison group. Patients in the training group trained 2 days per week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Nonaerobic activities in the training program lasted 20 to 30 seconds. Patients in the comparison group were instructed not to change their normal daily activities. The researchers assessed body composition, lung function, muscle force, physical activity, aerobic and nonaerobic exercise performance, and quality of life at the end of the training program and after a 12-week follow-up.

     Extractions: SEATTLE (CNN) Researchers have discovered that high doses of a specific fatty acid can reduce symptoms of cystic fibrosis in mice a finding that potentially could lead to a treatment for a disease that is now incurable in humans. People with cystic fibrosis exhibit high levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and low levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Researchers who bred mice with the genetic defect that causes cystic fibrosis found that the mice exhibited the same imbalance of fatty acids.
