A REVIEW ARTICLE: LUNGS PROBLEMS DUE TO CYSTIC FIBROSIS OF THE GENETICS

Abstract

A disease that impacts the whole body is cystic fibrosis. It allows the body to develop dense, sticky mucus that builds up in the body's lungs, digestive system, and other sections. The infant would get CF if both parents have the cystic fibrosis gene and transfer it through their child. There is no solution, but drugs are used to help keep patients safe. The disease is not infectious. It is found in roughly one in 30 Caucasians on at least one copy of chromosome 7. The initial mutation happened in Northern Europe about 52,000 years ago. The genotype is not closely linked with CF severity, while some mutations have been identified with particular symptoms.
