The development of mouse models for cystic fibrosis has provided the opportunity to dissect disease pathogenesis, correlate genotype and phenotype, study disease-modifying genes and develop novel therapeutics. This review discusses the successes and the challenges encountered in characterizing and optimizing these models.
