CF affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. If you have the CF defective gene those fluids become thick plugging up ducts and passageways. Especially in the lungs and pancreas.  What causes CF CF is an inherited disease Gene mutation caused by mutations in a chart gene called Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. People who inherit 2 copies of the mutated CFTR will have a chance of getting CF. people can have the gene but no symptoms. symptoms  Lung infection.
