Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition. It affects organs in the body, particularly the lungs and digestive system, which become clogged with sticky mucus, making it difficult to breathe and digest food. Cystic fibrosis affects over 7,500 people in the UK and is most common in Caucasian people. People with cystic fibrosis have a shorter life expectancy, with the average being around 31 years. Cystic fibrosis symptoms Cystic fibrosis is a "multi-system" disease, meaning that it affects many body organs. However, most of the symptoms are to do with the lungs and the digestive system. Lungs In a healthy person, there is a constant flow of mucus over the surfaces of the air passages in the lungs. This removes debris and bacteria. If you have cystic fibrosis, this mucus is excessively thick and sticky and cannot perform this role properly.

Cystic fibrosis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Cystic fibrosis Classification and external resources ICD E ICD OMIM ... MeSH Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF mucoviscoidosis , or mucoviscidosis ) is a hereditary disease that affects the exocrine (mucus) glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure. Thick mucus production, as well as a less competent immune system , results in frequent lung infections . Diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes is the main cause of poor growth fatty diarrhea and deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins. Males can be infertile due to the condition congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens . Often, symptoms of CF appear in infancy and childhood. Meconium ileus is a typical finding in newborn babies with CF. Individuals with cystic fibrosis can be diagnosed prior to birth by genetic testing Newborn screening tests are increasingly common and effective. The diagnosis of CF may be confirmed if high levels of salt are found during a sweat test , although some false positives may occur.

Her parents clap her back and chest for at least 20 minutes to help clear her lungs of the thick mucus that sometimes makes it difficult for her to breathe. At school, Lisa coughs a lot, so she keeps a box of tissues on her desk just in case she coughs up mucus and needs to spit it out. In gym class, she participates in sports but often gets tired easily. At lunchtime, Lisa takes pills to help her digest her food and get all the vitamins she needs, which helps her keep up her strength to deal with cystic fibrosis. What Is CF? Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease that causes the body to make thick, sticky mucus (say: myoo -kus). This causes problems in two major areas: the lungs and the digestive system. And it's not only the airways and lungs that are affected in a person who has cystic fibrosis. Mucus-producing cells line the digestive tract, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and reproductive organs. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digest food and hormones that help absorb sugar. When thick mucus in the pancreas clogs up the narrow passageways, it can make it difficult for people to digest food and get all the vitamins and nutrients they need. Cystic fibrosis affects more than 30,000 children and young adults in the United States. It can be mild or severe, depending on the person. To make normal mucus, the body needs a special protein. This protein is defective in cystic fibrosis, producing the thick, sticky mucus that causes problems for people with CF.

Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Tutorial Primary Author: Nerma Jahic Introduction to Cystic Fibrosis CF affects approximately 1 in 2000 people in United States and is the most common lethal genetic disease of Caucasians. This disease causes certain glands to malfunction. In CF, mucous glands produce thick, sticky mucus, which interferes with breathing and digestion. Mucus clogs passages in lungs and airways, causing breathing difficulty, chronic coughing, and sometimes heart failure. Mucus also blocks ducts in the pancreas preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines, and it may also clog the liver and digestive tract. Also, this thick mucus appears to be an ideal medium for bacteria, which are the most responsible for deadly symptoms of the disease. Individuals with severe cases frequently die before the age of 30. "Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator" is the name for the gene and the corresponding protein in which the genetic defect for the cystic fibrosis condition arises. Functionally, the protein is a "chloride channel" - a protein that resides in cell membranes and permits the passage of chloride ions across the membrane. Even the normal, fully functional protein carries the name of the disease, and is called "Cystic Fibrosis Transport Regulator" (CFTR). Why? Because the location of the genetic defect was identified in the genome and the corresponding protein before the function of protein was fully established.
