Figure 6.
Relation between ex vivo CFTR current measurements and clinical sweat chloride concentrations. Official standards for CF diagnostics based on sweat chloride are shown on the right. ΔICFTR is presented as mean ± SE values of CFTR inhibitor-sensitive current recorded in forskolin plus VX-770 stimulated cells without CFTR corrector treatment. A relation between the two measures appears significant by Pearson correlation with r = −0.953, p = 0.003, normality passed (Shapiro-Wilk), p = 0.917.
