Market Highlights

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by a mutation in the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene, which leads to the production of defective CFTR proteins. These proteins are responsible for maintaining the balance of salt and water in the body's cells, particularly in the lungs and digestive tract. In CF, the defective CFTR proteins result in the production of thick and sticky mucus that clogs the airways, making breathing difficult and increasing the risk of lung infections. The abnormal mucus also affects the pancreas, preventing the release of digestive enzymes necessary for proper nutrient absorption. As a chronic and progressive condition, CF requires ongoing medical management to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve the quality of life for individuals affected by the disease.
