What Is Cystic Fibrosis?Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; andobstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.Symptoms of Cystic FibrosisPeople with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including:very salty-tasting skin;persistent coughing, at times with phlegm;frequent lung infections;wheezing or shortness of breath;poor growth/weight gain in spite of a good appetite; andfrequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty in bowel movements.StatisticsAbout 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year.More than 70% of patients are diagnosed by age two.More than 45% of the CF patient population is age 18 or older.The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is more than 37 years.
What term describes the inheritance of cysticfibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease. That means that each parent has to carry a mutation and will have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of having a child with CF. The previous answer is not correct. __________________________________________________________________ You inherit cystic fibrosis from either one parent or both. It is to do with genetic mapping. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive gene and can be carried by our parents even if they do not suffer from it, it's like in a carrier(someone who does not suffer from CF but still has the gene) the cystic fibrosis gene is 'hiding'. When we crete gametes (sperm and eggs) the genes have to split. For example your father could have the gene Ff and they would split and become F f. The capital F is the dominant gene and the small f is the recessive gene, in this case cystic fibrosis. When an egg is fertilised the separate gene from both parents join together. If a man and women have one child, and both parents had the recessive gene of CF then the likelihood of their first child having cystic fibrosis is high, 50% in fact. Here is a diagram which might help explain Parents Mother + Father Genotype (genes) Ff Ff Gametes(sperm+egg) F f F f Offspring FF ff 50% 50% I hope this helped a little. I didn't go into full detail becasue there is a lot more to it then what i have said and it is a lot more comlicated. If you can, try to go on a revision site which may help.

What blood tests can confirm a diagnosis of melioidosis?
Blood tests that can be used to confirm a diagnosis of melioidosis include culture of Burkholderia pseudomallei from blood, serological tests such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for specific antibodies, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the bacteria's genetic material in the blood.
How does cf affect the lungs?
It clogs them up with mucus
How speed up the percent of cf?
The percent of CF affects millions it is a life threatening disease you get genetically. This disease cause mucus to build up and clog the bodies organs and can lead to many more problems with the lungs and digestive system.
What is the cost of a CF Memory Card?
The cost of a CF Memory Card depends on which model of the memory card is being purchased. More recent models are more advanced and more expensive than older models.
What respiratory disease that can pass hereditarily?
cystic fibrosis: although CF is not specifically a respiratory disease it does dramatically affect the lungs causing an early death. there are a couple of other genetic ones (for instance alpha 1 antitrysin) but they are much rarer in occurence than CF

Organs that don't work properly when having CF?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. In the lungs, thick mucus builds up, leading to blockages, infections, and difficulty breathing. The pancreas is also impacted, often resulting in insufficient enzyme production for digestion, which can lead to malnutrition and poor growth. Additionally, CF can affect the liver and reproductive organs, contributing to various complications.

What are the main advantages of CF cards?
There are many advantages of CF cards. The main advantage is that CF cards are able to store more data. They offer more reliable storage and can be used in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and digital cameras.
Is cystic fibrosis sex-linked?
CF is a serious and chronic disease of the lungs, it has nothing to do with sex, except that it can affect both males and females.
What is the test to confirm cystic fibrosis?
CF develops early in childhood, the most common at 3 months. Simple genetic tests can tell you if you carry the gene that produces CF. CF is found in chromosome 7 and has 3 'ladder steps' missing. This results in the child having CF.
