What Is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder, which means you get it from your parents at birth. It affects your lungs, pancreas, and other organs. CF changes the way chloride (salt) moves through the cells of your body. This causes the mucus (which should be th...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal genetic disease primarily affecting Caucasians, although cases have been reported from other ethnic groups. CF has a complex etiology, but it is chiefly a disease of electrolyte transport and is characterized by defects in fluid secretion by several epithelia, ...

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting the exocrine glands, which are the organs responsible for making fluids in the body that is potentially fatal but treatable, especially when diagnosed early. Learn about the disease process of cystic fibrosis...
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting the exocrine glands, which are the organs responsible for making fluids in the body that is potentially fatal but treatable, especially when diagnosed early. Learn about the disease process of cystic fibrosis, including the mutated gene that causes it,...
Getting a Head Start on Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease and early detection can lead to better treatment and quality of life. A new study shows a non-invasive test to be effective in detecting early cystic fibrosis in children. ...
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder, characterized clinically by chronic obstructive lung disease, pancreatic insufficiency and elevated sweat electrolytes; affected individuals rarely live past their early twenties. Cystic fibrosis is also one of the most common genetic diseases in the northern...
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder that disables a key protein – known as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, or CFTR – that is responsible for transferring fluid and minerals in and out of cells. The effect on the 30,000 Americans diagnosed with the condition ...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting more than 10,800 people in the UK and its effects are quite far ranging. The most prominent issue that people with CF have is with their breathing. Mucus builds-up in their lungs causing chronic infections, meaning that...
摘要: Although the majority of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) show a typical clinical course, a minority with the same clinical phenotype at the time of initial diagnosis have an atypical (mild) course.DOI: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1977.tb01284.x 被引量: 15 ...
