Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the lifespan of cystic fibrosis patients is will increase 75 percent by 2015. Although the average survival age is rising, it has been revised to read that the number of adults living with cystic fibrosis will increase 75 percent by 2015. Comment.efore 1960, an infant born with cystic fibrosis was not expected to live more than a few months. Today, thanks to advances in treatment and care, these same babies are surviving well into their late 30s. A recent study now predicts that those currently living with cystic fibrosis may live far longer.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited, chronic disease that interferes with the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Mutations of a specific gene (the CFTR) affect the cells that line the organs of these three systems.This defective gene causes the production of thick, sticky mucus.It builds up and clogs the small airways and passageways which carry harmful bacteria out of the body.hough the research is very promising, there is no cure yet for Cystic Fibrosis.
