Scientists probe DNA marks to explain cystic fibrosis lung decline

NCT ID NCT02884622

First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looked at 72 adults with cystic fibrosis to see if chemical changes in their DNA (called DNA methylation) are linked to how well their lungs work. The goal was to understand why lung disease gets worse at different rates in different people. No treatment was given; instead, researchers measured DNA methylation levels and compared them to lung function.
