Garrin is a 7-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis. The disease is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome 7. As a result, there is a defective production of protein chloride channels in epithelial cell membranes
One effect of the disease is the production of thick mucous that accumulates in Garrin's bronchial passages. As a result, he attends a physiotherapy clinic regularly for chest percussion treatments to loosen the respiratory mucous. Garrin's disease is hereditary. What does it mean to have a genetic defect on chromosome 7 in terms of DNA, genes, and chromosomes? In cystic fibrosis, cellular chloride channels are defective. Anatomically what type of channel is this, and what is its importance in cell function? In the mucus-secreting cells of the lungs, chloride and sodium remain in the cell.
