Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, digestive system, sweat glands, and male fertility. This disease affects the body’s ability to move salt and water within the cells. This defect causes the lungs and pancreas to secrete thick mucus, blocking passageways and enabling proper function.
