Defect in the chloride channels effecting the pancreas, Intestines of the fetus, and Bronchi of the Lu’s.

The malabsorption causes steatorrhea (Stool with high fat content). The pathology involving the intestines of the fetus is there is no first bowel (Meconium Illus). This will cause distention of the bowel and a possible rupture of the meconium peritnitus. The LU pathology comes from a change in the mucus in the LU which leads to recurrent pneumonia and can also cause Rt sided HT failure. All 3 of the pathologies can cause death.
