Well, a genetic disease. It is a genetic defect in a particular protein in the cells of our body is wrongly put and lose their function. I think it's a bomb with chlorine. But basically, this pump is defective, if the amount of water that can penetrate into the lungs change, of course, creates the mucus thicker and more sticky. Therefore, less oxygen to the lungs and blood. As it is now thicker mucus is less easily expelled from the lungs by coughing - the more lung infections and long-term damage to the lung itself and the reduced capacity tend to lead. I think the life expectancy of people with CF is around 40 or less. There are a lot of work on potential treatments for cystic fibrosis in the nature of theInhalers with modified viruses are capable of developing lung cells to penetrate and a working copy of the DNA insert to the protein of the law can be produced. There are many complications in this and so far there have been no demonstrations that could have been used safely in humans ... Although there have been some attempts. As far as I'm aware of victims to participate in many physical therapy to aleviate the symptoms. I also believe that the disease requires 2 copies of the defective gene lead to symptoms, which means that both parents must carry the defective gene responsible for children are made. Hope this helps and not too vague
JB hi,
CF is most common hereditary disease in real life, shortening of the white population. It is a genetic disorder that causes abnormal epithelial chloride transport, sodium reabsorption creates unnecessary outside the cell a little liquid, which creates a salt of sweat abnormally thick mucus. This mucus clogs the pipes and then Tübli. The effects of mucus in the pancreas and lung. When I started studying, I had no idea that the fight against pancreatic cancer preventing effect that the enzymes digest digest in the mucus in the small intestine fats and proteins. In practice, this can result in malnutrition and stunting in children. The lungs as you read, I am sure that the mucus blocks the airways, causing infection, inflammation and scarring and permanent loss of the PUlmonary function. Irreversible lung function is what causes the most deaths.
