What kind of molecules produce the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?

cystic fibrosis is a genetic code, so its not really molecules that cause it, however its more of a DNA mutation that's happened when your born. this means that your mucus cells don't function properly and when they are created, they are made with the wrong gene coding and so will produce more mucus than they're supposed to which is what forms in the lungs.
i think that's right and i hope it helps :)
