Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, primarily characterized by thick and sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, leading to breathing problems, frequent lung infections, and complications in multiple organs including the pancreas, liver, intestines, and sex organs. It manifests through symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing up mucus, sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of fingers and toes, and infertility in most males.
