Cystic fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and digestive system due to a genetic mutation that leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus. This mucus clogs airways, causing severe respiratory issues, frequent lung infections, and reduced lung function. In the pancreas, it obstructs digestive enzymes, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and poor growth. Over time, these complications can significantly impact overall health and quality of life.
