Abstract
There is a large spectrum of abnormalities in the CFTR gene that leads
to a partial function of the chloride channel and, thereby, an uncommon
presentation of the disease, the “CFTR-related diseases”. This report
aims to present a case of a patient with a single gene mutation related
to cystic fibrosis, with an unusual clinical presentation among CFTR
related diseases - chronic intestinal constipation. This patient is not
a cystic fibrosis patient because he does not fulfil the disease’s
classic criteria. Furthermore, since the mutation found is not yet
described in the literature, it could be related to CFTR-related
disease.
