Cystic fibrosis resulting when a person has mutations in both of the body's copies of the cftr gene; Suggestion that the mutant cftr gene persists so widely because of a heterozygote advantage; Suggestion from Gerald B. Pier and colleagues at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts that...

They may also show the gene that caused your CF. An x-ray will show inflammation and enlargement of your lungs. It will also show plugged airways and any fluid buildup. A bronchoscopy is a procedure to look inside your lungs to check for damage. A bronchoscope (thin tube with a light)...

What is CF? Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas and other organs. This lifelong condition is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. To have CF, a person must inherit two copies of the mutated CF...
Cystic Fibrosis is the result of a genetic mutation in the CFTR gene on chromosome 7. This disease is more common to the Northern European population, with over 1500 different mutations that can occur on this gene. The most common is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 (ΔF508) [...
How does a person get cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. People with CF haveinherited two copies of the defective CF gene -- one copy from each parent. Both parents must have at least one copy of the defective gene. People with only one copy of the defective CF gene...
