Bronchiectasis with or without elevated sweat chloride 2(BESC2)

MedGen UID:
414437
Concept ID:
C2751666
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: BESC2
 
Gene (location): SCNN1A (12p13.31)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013087
OMIM®: 613021

Definition

Patients with bronchiectasis with or without elevated sweat chloride-2 (BESC2) have bronchiectasis and chronic bronchitis of varying severity. Pancreatic insufficiency may be present (Azad et al., 2009). For discussion of genetic heterogeneity in bronchiectasis with or without elevated sweat chloride, see BESC1 (211400). [from OMIM]
