Case Report: Pitfalls in CF screening – targeted variant analysis can cause misleading results and therapy recommendations

Standard genetic screening methods may fail to detect complex alleles, leading to misinterpretation of genotype and suboptimal treatment choices. This case highlights the necessity of comprehensive genetic analysis in patients with unexpected therapy responses. When CFTR modulator therapy does not yield the expected improvements, re-sequencing should be considered to optimize precision medicine approaches for CF.

Abstract

Standard genetic screening methods may fail to detect complex alleles, leading to misinterpretation of genotype and suboptimal treatment choices. This case highlights the necessity of comprehensive genetic analysis in patients with unexpected therapy responses. When CFTR modulator therapy does not yield the expected improvements, re-sequencing should be considered to optimize precision medicine approaches for CF.
