Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition caused by a faulty gene (known as the CFTR gene). The CFTR gene normally creates a protein that moves salt and water out of a cell.If the CFTR gene is defective, it results in a build-up of thick, sticky mucus in the body's tubes and passageways.These blockages damage the lungs, digestive system and other organs, resulting in inflammation (swelling) and, in the lungs, repeated infections.f the CFTR gene is defective, it results in a build-up of thick, sticky mucus in the body's tubes and passageways.

Cystic fibrosis occurs due to abnormalities in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and its associated protein. The CFTR protein is an epithelial cell chloride channel and an important regulator of other epithelial chloride and sodium channels.
