The environment can have an effect on someone's disorder, and depending on the disorder, and the person, altering the environment could help. However, some disorders are not able to be helped through any means.
Yes. Environmental factors that can effect cystic fibrosis are exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke, stress, and even living in poverty.
Yes, as cystic fibrosis creates a thicker mucus that keeps in bacteria, having a polluted or non-hygienic environment can easily worsen the chronic infections one is prone to get.
what are the mental charictoristcs of cystic fibrosis
The nervous system
The gene on chromosome 7 produces a protein called cystic fibrosis trans-membrane regulator. Mutation in the DNA level of chromosome 7 leads to the absence of this protein which leads to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease.
You can not prevent it. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease. CF is also not contagious. You couldn't tell a person apart because it does not effect physical features.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by defective CFTR protein. CFTR is an ion channel that transports chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes.
It will change the order of bases:) could cause diseases such as; Cystic Fibrosis
There is an even distribution between males and females however the effects of cystic fibrosis effect them differently. Unfortunately the majority of males are infertile but women have more of a chance to conceive.
CF, Cystic fibrosis affects mainly the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic lung disease. It makes the mucas in the body thick and sticky which can effect the entire body and can lead to an early death. -edited to correct spelling :)
Yes it can, the thick and viscous mucus can block the sperm ducts for example and can therefore lead to sterility, as the sperm cannot be released.

The faulty gene causes the misfolding of a protein called the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR). CFTR is responsible for the movement of chloride and sodium ions into and out of cells. The lack of salt and water on the surface of the cells causes the mucus to become extremely thick and sticky which builds up in and clogs organs.
