title: New insights into gene-specific management in cystic fibrosis from the 2012 European Cystic Fibrosis Conference.
abstract: 35th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference   The Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland, 6-9 June 2012   More than 2400 delegates attended the 35th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference held in Dublin between 6 and 9 June 2012. More than 525 abstracts were presented at the conference. There were 30 symposia with four speakers at each, in addition to numerous workshops where researchers had the opportunity to present their work into scientific, clinical and psychological aspects of cystic fibrosis care. Keynote speakers provided state of the art lectures in two plenary sessions. This report highlights two important areas in the field of molecular genetics and the need for new and validated clinical trial end points.
