    Cystic Fibrosis Research Paper

    Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal (not sex linked), hereditary disease caused by a mutation in the gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, or the CFTR gene. This CFTR gene belongs to a group of genes called ABC (ATP-binding cassette). These are transport molecules for molecules such as phosphate, glucose, chloride, and peptides. Specifically for the CFTR gene, the molecules transported are chloride and sodium. The CFTR protein, which is created by the CFTR gene, has a molecular weight of 168,173 daltons and in length, is 1480 amino acids long. This variation in genes is located in chromosome 7 of humans. Because most people have two of the CFTR gene which creates the CFTR proteins, a person can be completely healthy with a mutation in the gene, as long as at least one of these genes are unchanged from the normal state. Without the cystic fibrosis variation of the CFTR gene, the CFTR proteins created by the gene act as a channel protein which can be found in the membranes of cells which line the passageways of organs such as the pancreas, lungs, and intestines. The CFTR protein can be modified in numerous ways to give the host cystic fibrosis; in fact, over 1000 transformations of the CFTR gene have been recognized. One of the most common of these mutations is a deletion of a single amino acid from the long chain of 1480 in the CFTR protein. This causes a breakdown of the channel made with the missing amino acid, which means that it never transports chloride ions, like it was made to do, because it never reaches the cell membrane. This mutation is delta F508, because the deletion occurs at position 508 on the CFTR protein. These sorts of mutations work to deteriorate and destroy the efficiency of the CFTR protein by changing or replacing parts of the protein’s amino acid order. This order chooses the way that the protein is folded, and if this order is…

    Cystic Fibrosis Research Paper

    More complications for CF are damaged airways, chronic infections, palyps, hemoptysis, pneumothorax, respiratory failure, and acute exacerbations. Cystic fibrosis does not only disturb the lungs and airways, it also attacks the digestive system. The thick mucus blocks the passageways of the pancreas stopping the enzymes from being able to reach the small intestine. Ergo the mucus plug constrains the digestion of protein and fat leading to a defect in attaining fat soluble vitamins. To add to the digestive system symptoms are poor weight gain and growth, increased risk of diabetes, intestinal blocking, severe constipation, diarrhea, malnutrition, and frequent straining can lead to rectal prolapse. Reproductive complications can occur in people with cystic fibrosis. Most men are infertile due to missing or mucus blocked vas deferens which connects the testes and prostate gland. Women have less of a chance getting pregnant but still can. Although pregnancy can worsen the signs and symptoms of cystic…

    Cystic Fibrosis

    Cystic fibrous causes many effects on the body, but it mainly affects the digestive system, pancreas and the lungs. Inside the lungs, the mucus can clog the airways and trap bacteria. This more often leads to infections, lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure. Inside the pancreas, the mucus stops the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients, which can sometimes lead to inflammation of the pancreas. Cystic fibrosis can also affect other parts of the body, that includes the liver, the reproductive system, the sweat glands and the sinuses.…

    Essay On Cystic Fibrosis

    Some symptoms of Cystic fibrosis are very salty sweat, abnormal bowel movements (your waste looks different), multiple lung infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, as well as difficulty to gain weight. There is also many ways to treat those symptoms, Some common treatments are airway clearance with a vest you put on a vest that is connected to a machine and it vibrates very quickly loosening the mucus inside the lungs. People also use inhalers to get aerosol medicine straight to the lungs. A less common way of treating the disease is to undergo a lung transplant. Although a lung transplant seems as it would be the most effective way to cure the disease lung transplants are very expensive and you would be put on a very long wait…

    Cystic Disorders: Cystic Fibrosis

    Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited disorder which results from mutation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. It occurs approximately in one of every 2500 live births in the white population(1) ; and characterized by abnormal thick viscous secretions in the respiratory, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts together with chronic suppurative endobronchial infection(2), resulting in death or lung transplantation in more than 500 patients every year in the United States(3). Incidence of CF is lower among African Americans (1in 15000)(4)and Asians (1in 32000)(5).…
