CAUSES OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS CF is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This protein is required to regulate the components of sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus.mutationgeneprotein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulatordigestivemucus

SYMPTOMS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS  The hallmark signs and symptoms of cystic fibrosis are salty tasting skin, poor growth and poor weight gain despite a normal food intake, accumulation of thick, sticky mucus, frequent chest infections, and coughing or shortness of breath.skin  Symptoms often appear in infancy and childhood, such as bowel obstruction due to meconium ileus in newborn babies.bowel obstructionmeconium ileus 

TREATMENTS FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS  There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.  Managing cystic fibrosis is complex, so consider obtaining treatment at a center that specializes in cystic fibrosis.  fibrosis/DS00287/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs

PROGNOSIS FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS  Life expectancy depends on the severity of disease and the parts of the body involved.  The average life span of a person with cystic fibrosis continues to increase.  z_detail.asp?AZ=127&Page=8

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT CYSTIC FIBROSIS  There is no way to prevent cystic fibrosis.cystic fibrosis  People with a family history of cystic fibrosis can undergo genetic testing to determine their chance of passing this disease on to their children.  A blood test can detect most genetic mutations that cause cystic fibrosis.  z_detail.asp?AZ=127&Page=5
