Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited fatal disease that affects the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Mutations of a specific gene (the CFTR) affect the transfer of salts and chlorides into and out of cells that line the organs of these three systems. This defective gene causes the production of an unusually thick, sticky mucus.

For those without cystic fibrosis, mucus is watery. It protects the linings of organs and moves bacteria out of the body. However, for those with cystic fibrosis, thick and sticky mucus builds up and clogs the small airways and passageways of the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. Rather than carry harmful bacteria out of the body, the mucus traps bacteria, which leads to serious infections.
