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).
Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF for short or mucoviscidosis) is an inherited chronic illness that affects the lungs and digestive systems of certain people. It is estimated that cystic fibrosis affects 30,000 children in the United States and about 70,000 worldwide.n order to have the disease, a person must inherit two copies of the defective CFTR gene. If both parents are carriers of the disease, their child has a 25% chance of receiving the disease, a 50% chance of becoming a carrier, and a 25% chance of never having either cystic fibrosis or the defective gene.
