Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.

otez555 [7]
The most interesting aspect of working with firearm evidence is finding out which type of firearm was used and inspecting the bullet and matching it to the archives of guns and bullets. However, the challenging part is tracing which person used the firearm and evidence and is the suspect of a crime. Also, tracing the movement of the bullet used from where it was shot and where it landed. It's very hard to know which person used the firearm as the end user.
