A Rare Genetic ConvergenceUnveiling the Diagnostic Overlap Between Cystic Fibrosis and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Introduction A fascinating clinical case reveals the co-occurrence of two rare autosomal recessive disorders Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) in a single patient. This unprecedented combination presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms and misleading test results, especially in regions with high consanguinity rates.

Reevaluating Cystic Fibrosis Pathology A Critical Look at the Chloride Secretion Paradigm
Introduction: A paradigm shift may be underway in cystic fibrosis (CF) research. Long held to be a disease primarily of defective chloride ion secretion by epithelial cells, new findings challenge this core assumption. A compelling review reexamines decades of data and proposes that vascular smooth muscle dysfunction, rather than impaired enterocyte secretion, may lie at…
