Genetic evidence supports the development of SLC26A9 targeting therapies for the treatment of lung disease

Abstract Over 400 variants in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) are CF-causing. CFTR modulators target variants to improve lung function, but marked variability in response exists and current therapies do not address all CF-causing variants highlighting unmet needs....
