I know there are different strains and some are more severe than and others more mild…But exactly how many different strains of CF are there and is there a way to determine how severe a strain a person has? I found out my daughter had the disease before she was born and now she’s one year old and has been experiences a lot of problems since birth. I’m just wondering if I can find out how severe the form of CF she has is.

We found out my 5 years old niece has Cystic Fibrosis. She has really bad coughing and her poo is always a yellow color. I read that the average age CF people live is 37 years old. How will her disease affect her life?

Novartis associate David W. talks about the research being done at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). Alice suffers from CF and is hoping for a cure. Hear their story. To learn more about careers at Novartis, please visit Novatis.com. © 2010 Novartis AG

I think I will write my paper on cystic fibrosis, since I already know a little about it. I know CF is a broad category, so what should I focus on? The paper has to be 5-7 pages long.

Dozens of teens from across the nation headed to Washington, DC in June 2010 to speak out on behalf of their siblings who have CF. To learn more about how to advocate for CF, visit www.cff.org

The Israeli CF uniun holds a donation day on March 4th, 2008. The uniun supports 8 medical centers specialized on treating cystic fibrosis patients.

Assume that you have a brother or sister with CF and that you and a Caucasian partner who has no family history of CF have a child. What is the likelihood of your child being affected?

I read that cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation of the CFTR gene, so even though the condition is inherited is it possible that the environment plays a role in developing CF? For example, would the presence of mutagens such as UV radiation affect the frequency of CFTR mutations in a population? You can probably tell I’m not really a biologist, so please explain as though you were explaining to a child

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder. If two phenotypically normal parents have a child with CF, what is the probability that their next child will be a phenotypically normal girl?
