    Extractions: Common Misspelling: systic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, progressive, and frequently fatal genetic (inherited) disease of the body's mucus glands. CF primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems in children and young adults. The sweat glands and the reproductive system are also usually involved. On the average, individuals with CF have a lifespan of approximately 30 years. CF-like disease has been known for over two centuries. The name, cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, was first applied to the disease in 1938.

    Extractions: "Your pregnancy seems to be progressing just fine, but we'll do some blood work to be on the safe side. As long as we're drawing blood from you today, Nancy, would you consent to participate in one of the genetics studies we're conducting here at People's Best Hospital?" Dr. Kwin prided herself on putting her patients at ease, but her question caught Nancy a little off guard. "What would that entail, Dr. Kwin?" While Nancy believed Dr. Kwin wouldn't ask her to do anything that wasn't a good idea, she never said yes to anything until she had all the information. Dr. Kwin began to explain, "Well, as you know, PBH is a research and teaching hospital. One research team is trying to determine the frequency of the gene for the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis in the U.S. population. And since you are having blood drawn anyway as you enter your second trimester...." Genetic disorder? Cystic fibrosis? The phrases made Nancy feel panicky. She interrupted Dr. Kwin mid-sentence. "You don't think I have that disease, do you? Isn't cystic fibrosis serious? How could I have caught it?" The questions came out in a rush.

    Extractions: Medicine has advanced the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) significantly in the past 10 years. Various measures that clear the lungs are becoming standardized. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as other support groups have been contributing not only to uncovering a cure but in helping the patient and their families as well. In 1989 the gene etiology of this condition was recognized and gene therapy is now being actively pursued. The CF patient fails to have normal mucus clearance. Thick tenacious mucus keeps bacteria from being cleared and prevents antibiotics from being effective. Clearance of mucus from the chest therefore is a paramount treatment objective. Various physical therapy methods include chest percussion, forceful exhalation, various dilators, postural drainage. The flutter device uses sound vibration to help reduce the thickness of the mucus. Inhalation of drugs that break down the structure of the mucus are in use. A similar thick fluid causes sinus infections. Nasal polyps are common. This is a type of bag of water where the liquid is maintained within the cell so that the cell expands and blocks the nose. A mucocele can develop, often in the frontal sinus. This is a similar bag of water within a membrane that expands and puts pressure on the sinus wall. Headaches in the frontal sinus area - above the eyes - is a common sign.

    http://www.labcorp.com/genetics/genetic_disorders/cystic_fibrosis.html
    
    Extractions: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common inherited diseases in Caucasians. CF is caused by a failure of a protein involved with the chloride balance in the body. This causes respiratory problems (breathing problems and lung infections), digestive problems (difficulty in absorbing some types of foods), and infertility. CF does not cause mental retardation or birth defects. The symptoms of CF can be highly variable; they can be mild in some people and cause a life-threatening illness in others. With good treatment, the average person with CF lives into their 30s. Back to Top Who is at risk for cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is most common in Caucasians, but is found in all ethnic groups. Even if an individual has no family history of CF or a child with CF, it is possible to be a CF carrier. Approximately 1 in 2500 Caucasians is born with the disease. The carrier frequency of several ethnic groups is shown in Table 1. The chance of being a carrier is higher for those who have a family history of CF.

Specimen Requirements : 5 to 10 ml of peripheral blood in an EDTA (lavender top) Vacutainer tube. The minimal amount needed for reliable DNA isolation is 3 ml. If necessary, ACD Solution A Vacutainer tubes (yellow top) may be substituted. Prenatal testing is available from amniocytes and CVS material. Transport : Please contact the Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory Coordinator (1-800-473-9411) for shipping information. The specimen should be kept at room temperature and delivered via overnight shipping. FedEx delivery is preferred. If shipment is delayed by one or two days, the specimen should be refrigerated and shipped at room temperature. Do not freeze the specimen.

The condition causes the body to produce thick secretions that affect lung function, food absorption, and fertility. Mature aged people with cystic fibrosis can also develop diabetes due to deficient insulin production as a result of food absorption problems. Symptoms of cystic fibrosis include: In 2006 approximately 3000 people in Australia had cystic fibrosis, a disorder affecting males and females equally (Cystic Fibrosis in Australia 2007).
