What is a CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508 Test in Bangalore ?

This test looks for the common F508 (also called delta F508) change in the CFTR gene. The CFTR protein helps control salt and water flow in cells. When CFTR is faulty, mucus in the lungs and digestive tract becomes thick. That leads to lung infections, breathing trouble, and digestion problems. Doctors use this test to diagnose cystic fibrosis, to screen people who might carry the gene, and to guide treatment choices. Results help decide therapies that target the specific genetic change. Genetic testing also helps with family planning and informed care for newborns and adults with suspected cystic fibrosis.

No special preparation is required.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508 Test Parameters in Bangalore

The CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508 test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:

  • Single test

Why Take a CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508 Test in Bangalore ?

CYSTIC FIBROSIS (r)F 508/CFTRF508 is usually part of CF mutation analysis or carrier screening panels. Doctors order it when a newborn screen is positive, when someone has chronic cough, recurrent lung infections, failure to thrive, or digestive trouble. It helps diagnose cystic fibrosis and identify carriers for family planning. Abnormal results stem from inherited CFTR gene mutations. A family history of CF makes this test especially important.

What is F508 in cystic fibrosis in Bangalore?plus

F508 (ΔF508 or F508del) is the most common CFTR gene mutation in cystic fibrosis: a deletion of the amino acid phenylalanine at position 508. It causes misfolding and degradation of CFTR, preventing functional chloride channels from reaching the cell surface, which leads to impaired salt and water transport, thick mucus, recurrent lung infections, and pancreatic insufficiency.

What does CFTR stand for in Bangalore?plus

CFTR stands for Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator. It is an ATP‑gated ion channel in the ABC transporter family that controls chloride and bicarbonate transport across epithelial cell membranes in lungs, pancreas, intestines and sweat glands. Mutations in the CFTR gene disrupt ion transport, causing thick secretions, recurrent lung infections, pancreatic insufficiency and the features of cystic fibrosis.

Why is it called delta F508 in Bangalore?plus

"Delta F508" (ΔF508) denotes a deletion of the amino acid phenylalanine (one-letter code F) at position 508 of the CFTR protein. That single-residue loss causes misfolding, prevents proper trafficking to the cell surface, and impairs chloride channel function. ΔF508 is the most common mutation causing cystic fibrosis and underlies the disease’s characteristic mucus and lung problems.

What class of CF is F508del in Bangalore?plus

The F508del (ΔF508) CFTR mutation is classified as a class II defect. It causes abnormal protein folding and defective processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, leading to proteasomal degradation and markedly reduced CFTR at the cell surface. The resulting loss of functional chloride channels produces the characteristic ion transport defect in cystic fibrosis; the mutant protein may also show residual gating and stability defects.

What is the life expectancy of a person with delta F508 mutation in Bangalore?plus

The ΔF508 CFTR mutation (especially in homozygous form) causes classic cystic fibrosis. With modern multidisciplinary care and CFTR modulator therapies, many people with ΔF508 live into their 40s–60s; median survival in high‑income countries commonly falls in the mid‑40s to mid‑50s. Individual prognosis varies widely with genotype, lung function, infections, nutrition, and access to specialist treatments.

What are the five types of cystic fibrosis in Bangalore?plus

Cystic fibrosis is classified by CFTR mutation effects into five types: Class I — no functional CFTR produced; Class II — protein misfolding/trafficking defect (e.g., F508del); Class III — defective gating/regulation; Class IV — reduced ion conductance; Class V — reduced protein quantity from splicing or promoter defects. They influence disease severity and treatment selection, including mutation-specific drugs.
