GUSB and ATP2B4 are suitable reference genes for CFTR gene expression data normalization in nasal epithelium cells

Background: CFTR expression studies contribute in understanding the relationship between CFTR transcripts and clinical outcomes. Normalization of qPCR data is an essential step to determine target gene expression. Consequently, appropriate reference genes must be selected for each gene/tissue. In this work, we have assessed the suitability of four potential reference genes for CFTR expression analysis in nasal
