Loss of CFTR activity is the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF)1
• People with 2 CFTR mutations resulting in loss of CFTR activity generally have a CF phenotype, which may include1-3,6
– Elevated sweat chloride (>60 mmol/L)
– Pancreatic insufficiency
– CBAVD a
– Lung function decline over time
– Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization
aCBAVD, congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.

• Life expectancy in Western countries (general population born in 2000) is ~79 years2
• Between 1993 and 2002, median survival for US patients with genotypes associated with little to no CFTR activity was 36.3 years (95% CI, 35.5 to 37.6 years), while median survival for those having genotypes associated with residual CFTR activity was 50 years (95% CI, 47.1 to 55.9 years)1
– In this study, patients with the R553X mutation (Class I) were part of the severely reduced CFTR activity group
• More recent US data (2000-2010) suggest median survival across genotypes continues to improve3
Survival Curves by CFTR Activity During a 10-Year Follow-Up (1993-2002) of Patients From the US CFF Registrya
a Data are from a retrospective study of patients enrolled in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation patient registry measuring risk of death over a 10-year observation period from 1993 to 2002. Patients were grouped as having a high-risk or low-risk genotype based on the functional effects of their class of CFTR mutation on phenotype and mortality. Patients having a Class I, II, or III mutation on both alleles were considered high-risk, while patients having at least 1 Class IV or V mutation were categorized as low-risk. A total of 15,651 patients had a CFTR genotype of a known functional class: 14,525 (93%) had a high-risk CFTR genotype and 1126 (7%) had a low-risk CFTR genotype.1
This survival curve represents population-based outcomes.1 Individual outcomes in cystic fibrosis are variable.

• R553X is a nonsense mutation, which produces a premature stop codon1-4
• The cell cannot synthesize a full-length CFTR protein, a Class I mutation1-4
• As a result, few to no CFTR proteins are present at the apical cell surface1,2,5

Both CFTR alleles play a role in determining phenotype or disease severity1-6
• An R553X allele results in little to no CFTR activity. The phenotype of a particular patient is also influenced by the mutation on the other allele1-6
• R553X typically results in the indicated phenotypes
