Jan 03, 2020 07:00 am | Patricia Inacio, PhD

Genetic variations that lower the expression levels of a gene called RNF5 may explain why some people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at lesser risk of developing lung infections, a study reports. The study, “Systematic genetic analysis of the MHC region reveals mechanistic underpinnings of HLA type associations with disease,” was published in the journal eLIFE.
