abnormal chloride channels that trap salt inside cells lining the lung passageways.
Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.
If by vector you mean the organism which causes it, there is none. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition.

A medical physician can run a test known as the chloride sweat test that can be used to help diagnose cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a systemic disease that primarily affects the lungs and causes thick mucous secretions to build up in the airway and therefore causes breathing problems.
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.
The genotype of a person with CF is cc. The genotype of a carrier of a CF mutation is Cc.
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by the gene which codes for the protein CFTR--Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator, which is found on chromosome 7. The protein transports chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes.
To found Cystic Fibrosis, watch Princess and I!!!
