Cystic fibrosis affects more than just the lungs. CF can cause changes in many parts of the body, including the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, reproductive system, and sweat glands. #CFAwareness
When the CF Foundation was established in 1955, there were no treatments for cystic fibrosis. Today, there are more than a dozen new treatments for CF. #CFAwareness
For someone to have #cysticfibrosis, you must inherit two copies of the CFTR gene that contain mutations--one copy from each parent. That means that each parent must either have CF or be a carrier of a CFTR gene mutation. #CFawareness
