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.
