Cystic Fibrosis CF

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It involves a mutation in a gene that causes the body to produce thick and sticky mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, instead of the usual thin and slippery secretions. This leads to blockages in pathways, particularly in the lungs and pancreas, causing damage to these organs.
