Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic and inherited disease caused by a defect in the genes and that affects the normal function of organs like the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, and sinuses, as well as the reproductive system. Patients experience an abnormal production of thick and sticky ...
Cystic fibrosis Last updated: April 9, 2025 Summary Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is common in individuals of European descent. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. These mutations result...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) was first described as a disease in the late 1930s. It is the most common genetic disease among people with European ancestry. Approximately one in every 25 people of European descent is a carrier for the cystic fibrosis gene, having one normal gene and one CF gene. ...

Pancreatic enzymes help your digestive system break down food and absorb nutrients. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulators (CFTR) may help improve your symptoms if your CF is caused by a certain protein mutation. Your healthcare provider or CF specialist can give you more information about CFTRs....
Cystic fibrosis is caused by defects in the cystic fibrosis gene, which codes for a protein transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that functions as a chloride channel and is regulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Mutations in theCFTRgene result in abnormalities of cAMP-regulated chl...
