National audience. Conclusions: The cause of death of the CFTR KO piglets is not currently known, and we are still improving the post-operative cares. As the incidence of meconium ileus is of 100% in CFTR -/- animals, the diagnosis could be done faster by CT scan (and confirmed later by the PCR). By reducing the birth-to-surgery time, we hope to improve the survival. The tissues that we have collected provide an original opportunity to investigate initiating mechanisms of disease, with CF and non-CF comparisons, but without confounders.
