A 21 year old male patient comes in with a chest problem. For the past years he has been coughing very large volumes of sputum. Now he has high fever, haemoptysis and the chest x ray shows bronchopneumonic opacities. Sputum culture is positive for Pseudomonas aeuroginosa. He says that he has problem with diseases since he was born as he was told that he has had GI troubles. He was also recently diagnosed with a nasal polyp. His sweat chloride is elevated. What would you tell him regarding his condition:
a- he shouldn't worry about fertility problems, because he has normal cilliary function
b- he probably has lower than normal chloride in his intestinal secretions
c- his parents should not worry about their offspring as their chances of getting the disease are negligible
d- the condition results from a frame shifting mutation
e- the condition is due to splice site mutation
