The electronic transport properties of a metallic carbon nanotube with the five-seven disclination pair characterized by a lattice distortion vector were investigated. The influence of the disclination dipole included induced curvature and mixing of two sub-lattices. Both of these factors were taken into account via a self-consistent perturbation approach. The conductance and the Fano factor were calculated using the transfer-matrix technique.
