In 13 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients of 5 to 23 years of age with a known mutation spectrum of gene CFTR, sweat chloride values and nasal-potential differences (NPD) were measured and localization characteristics of the protein product of gene CFTR in the cells of nasal epithelium were studied. Sweat Chloride values were normal or boundary (24 to 62 mM/l) in six CF patients. In seven CF patients, these values were significantly above the estimates for the control group.
