Cystic Fibrosis is a chronic, genetic condition that causes patients to produce thick and sticky mucus, inhibiting their respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. Like Thalassemia, the disease is commonly inherited at a 25 percent rate when both parents have the Cystic Fibrosis gene.
=> Approximately 6 out of 10 people will be affected by a condition which has some genetic background. Genetic conditions can range from mild to very severe.
