- Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects various organs, including the pancreas, which can lead to cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD), impacting survival rates if untreated.
- Researchers built a CFRD prediction model using genetic data from a Canadian study and validated it with data from a French study, highlighting key predictors like sex and certain genetic variants.
- The final model successfully identifies individuals at high risk for CFRD and has led to the creation of a web-based tool that helps doctors monitor and treat patients based on their specific risk levels.
