The most common genetic defect in CF is the delta F508 mutation. The effect of specific CF genotypes on phenotypic sinus development and infections is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the homozygous delta F508 mutation is associated with an increased incidence of sinus hypoplasia when compared with other mutations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is a retrospective review of all adult patients seen at our CF center from 1996 to 2005. Patients \u226518 years old with a CF diagnosis using genetic and sweat chloride testing and sinus CT scans were included. Frontal sinus aplasia\/hypoplasia and maxillary and sphenoid sinus hypoplasia were documented using published criteria. Data collected included patient demographics, genetic mutations, and prior sinus surgeries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-five patients were identified with an average age of 32 years (range, 18\u201348 years). Thirty-one patients had prior sinus surgeries. Delta F508 homozygotes (n = 25) had a significantly increased frequency of underdeveloped frontal (98%), maxillary (70%), and sphenoid (100%) sinuses (p &lt; 0.001) when compared with other mutations (69, 8, and 50%, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CF patients homozygous for the delta F508 mutation have a greater incidence of hypoplastic or underdeveloped sinuses. Whether this is secondary to an increased frequency of sinus infections or a phenotypic expression of the genetic mutation itself remains an area for further investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2007.21.2905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,28]],"date-time":"2007-01-28T18:20:14Z","timestamp":1170008414000},"page":"122-127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":73,"title":["The Delta F508 Mutation in Cystic Fibrosis and Impact on Sinus Development"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Bradford A.","family":"Woodworth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chadwick","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick A.","family":"Flume","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodney J.","family":"Schlosser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199607183350307"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200409-1215OC"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/105065897781446676"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-003-1825-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/028418502127347592"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/028418501127346639"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/028418501127347214"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/105065801779954175"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02841859909175571"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-5876(94)90005-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.93.1.114"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.04.00050204"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ppul.10230"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","first-page":"173","article-title":"Cystic fibrosis and sinusitis.","volume":"18","author":"Cuyler J.P.","year":"1989","unstructured":"CuylerJ.P., and MonaghanA.J.
