Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator), leading to the production of thick and sticky mucus that can clog airways and harbor harmful bacteria. This condition results in severe respiratory and digestive problems, significantly affecting the quality of life and life expectancy.
