If The Cystic Fibrosis Allele Protects Against Tuberculosis

Scientists have hypothesized that carriers of cystic fibrosis possess a selective advantage better protecting them against the illnesses typhoid and tuberculosis caused by bacterial infection.

Frontiers | CFTR Modulators Restore Acidification of Autophago-Lysosomes and Bacterial Clearance in Cystic Fibrosis Macrophages

Most ducks had about the same amount of webbing on their feet as their parents. Q6.9. Consider the following hypothetical scenario: An ancestral species of duck had a varied diet that included aquatic plants and terrestrial plants and insects. These ducks spent time on both land and water.

The mutation that causes cystic fibrosis may actually serve a useful purpose: protecting against typhoid fever. The finding, reported in tomorrow’s issue of Nature, may help explain why this invariably fatal inherited disease is so prevalent today.. About one in 20 white Americans carry a defective copy of the gene for cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease whose hallmark symptom is thick mucous

If The Cystic Fibrosis Allele Protects Against Tuberculosis

Cystic Fibrosis Balanced polymorphism may explain why cystic fibrosis is so common- the anatomical defect that underlies CF protects against diarrheal illnesses, such as cholera. Background: The reason why Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease among Caucasians has been incompletely studied. We aimed at deepening the hypothesis that CF carriers have a relative protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection.

CD5L Deficiency Protects Mice Against Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

TaySachs disease and resistance to tuberculosis. Tay-Sachs is a rare genetic disease that results in an abnormal accumulation of neuronal lipids caused by a defective lysosomal enzyme, α-hexosaminidase. Alleles for this disease are more prevalent in certain populations, the most well-known being the Ashkenazi Jews. Life Sciences

SOLVED: It has been hypothesized that people who are heterozygous for the allele that causes the deadly genetic condition cystic fibrosis (which, among other symptoms, reduces fertility) are more resistant to the TaySachs disease and resistance to tuberculosis. Tay-Sachs is a rare genetic disease that results in an abnormal accumulation of neuronal lipids caused by a defective lysosomal enzyme, α-hexosaminidase.
