Q

Cystic fibrosis pathophysiology

A

Misfolded protein accumulates in RER–>decreased CL- and (water) secretions–> increased sodium and water reabsorption via epithelial sodium channels–> THICK MUCUS SECRETIONS INTO LUNGS AND GI. Also more negative transepithelial potential negative

36
Q

Dystrophin/primary tissue of action

A

It helps anchor muscle fibers, primary in skeletal and caridac muscle

37
Q

Dystrophin function

A

Anchor muscle fibers
Connects intracellular cytoskeleton (actin) to the transmembrane proteins α and β dystroglycan , which are connected to extracellular matrix

38
Q

A

X-linked frameshift mutation

40
Q

Duchenne pathophysiology

A

X-linked frameshift mutation–> truncated dystrophin protein –>accelerated muscle breakdown and inhibited muscle regeneration

40
Q
