1 By: Paige Whalen and Alex Ung

2  Mutation in the gene called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.  Due to loss of chromosome, located on chromosome 7.  Recessive

3  Symptoms occur throughout the whole body  Newborns: Delayed growth  Bowels: Severe constipation  Lungs: Mucus build up

4  Blood tests look for variations of the gene in CFTR.  Exercising  Medicines (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, bronchodilators)  Lung transplants for critical conditions

5  Cystic Fibrosis is common in the Caucasian population in the US.  1 in 2,500-3,500 Caucasian newborns  1 in 17,000 African Americans  1 in 31,000 Asian Americans

6  Using artificial insemination can help many out by preventing financial issues, also loosing a family member.  Testing should be done, if you treat the disease it can prevent lung infections and breathing problems.  Lowering the chance of a kid having the disease would help since the disease can cause pain and death. Question 5

7  Most people are detected with CF during a newborn screening.  Diagnosing the disease is easily done with blood tests.
