Cystic fibrosis with other manifestations - what does this mean

Cystic fibrosis with other manifestations is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene. this mutation affects the movement of chloride and sodium ions across cell membranes, resulting in thick, sticky mucus that builds up in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. this mucus buildup can lead to a variety of other symptoms, including respiratory and digestive issues, poor growth, and infertility.

What happens during the disease - cystic fibrosis with other manifestations

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene. this mutation results in the production of abnormal cftr proteins, which leads to the accumulation of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. this mucus can cause chronic inflammation, impairing the ability of the organs to function properly. in addition, it can lead to recurrent infections, malnutrition, and other complications such as diabetes and liver disease.
