Answers from Peter C. Amadio, M.D. Probably not. When used alone, carpal tunnel exercises aren't likely to relieve symptoms, such as pain and numbness. And they don't replace other carpal tunnel treatments, such as surgery, behavior modification or wrist splints.
The cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a defect in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of the cells in your body.
CF is caused by a mutation in a gene * on chromosome 7. Chromosome 7 is one of 23 pairs of chromosomes that are part of each person's genetic makeup. The CF gene causes the production of a protein that lacks an important amino acid * , phenylalanine (fen-il-AL-a-neen).
