What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians. About one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis (~70,000 people worldwide). CF is a multi-organ disease, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.
A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and causes severe breathing problems. It may be difficult to clear bacteria from the lungs, leading to cycles of infection and inflammation, which damage the delicate lung tissues. Thick mucus also blocks the ducts of the pancreas and prevents natural enzymes from reaching the intestines and helping the body break down and absorb food. People with CF must consume a large amount of artificial enzyme with every meal and snack, to help digest and absorb adequate nutrition from food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
