Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. It is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the airways and cause serious health problems.
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms and improve the quality of life for people with the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing serious complications.
