Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and digestive systems. People with cystic fibrosis inherit a defective gene on chromosome 7 called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator).
More than 30,000 people in the U.S. live with cystic fibrosis (CF.) Doctors diagnose about 1,000 new cases each year. CF affects the cells in your body that make mucus, sweat, and digestive fluids. Normally, these are very thin and slippery to keep systems in your body running smoothly. But if you have CF, they become thick and glue-like.
