Cystic fibrosis (CF) is not classified as a degenerative disease; rather, it is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, leading to the production of thick, sticky mucus that affects various organs, particularly the lungs and pancreas. This accumulation of mucus can cause progressive damage to the respiratory and digestive systems over time. While CF can lead to complications and a decline in health, it is primarily a genetic condition rather than one characterized by degeneration.
