Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system, caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. This leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that clogs airways and can result in severe respiratory and digestive issues. Symptoms may include chronic cough, frequent lung infections, and difficulty digesting food. While there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
