https://diler.tube/videos/watch/e52879c5-f08a-4828-9b69-e7c3e4b484d7 Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. It is caused by a defective gene on one of the chromosomes which has been inherited from the parents.The severity varies greatly from person to person, and largely depends on how much the lungs are affected. Deterioration in condition is inevitable, and eventually leads to death. Treatments can slow some of the changes that occur in the lungs, but there is currently no cure. Gene therapy holds great promise for treating cystic fibrosis. The defective gene causes the body to produce lots of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs which has to be removed by massage. Sufferers are prone to chest infections. It also causes excess mucus in the pancreas.
