Premium DNA Genetics Cystic fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is a severe inherited disease that affects 30‚000 children each year in the United States. As the disease is inherited‚ it is created by a mutated protein that regulates the equilibrium of salt in each cell. This mutated protein affects the normal function of Epithelial Cells or sweat cells and cells that line the lungs. This defected epithelial cell creates a thick and sticky mucus that can impair the flow of oxygen to the lungs. CF is a chronic disease that can affect every aspect

------------------------------------------------- Introduction Cystic fibrosis (also called CF or mucoviscidosis) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs‚ and also the pancreas‚ liver‚ and intestine. It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium‚ leading to thick‚ viscous secretions. The name refers to the characteristic scarring (fibrosis) and cyst formation within the pancreas that was first recognized in the

Imagine if you had a disease where you had multiple lung diseases on a regular basis and you were always weak. That disease is called cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease that can cause mucus in the lungs and intestines. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes mucus to block the intestines and lungs.When you have Cystic fibrosis the normally thin liquid mucus in your lungs and intestines turns into a thick and sticky substance trapping bacteria causing infections

Eventually if the cystic fibrosis gets worse‚ a lung transplant will be a necessity. This disease is not deadly unless not treated in time. In this report‚ there will be a discussion of several topics described throughout the paper to name a few topics: Background on Cystic Fibrosis‚ causes‚ symptoms‚ treatments and prevention. Background Dr. Dorothy Anderson was born in Asheville‚ North Carolina on May 15‚ 1901. She was the only child to both of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. At a young

There is an estimated 30‚000 people in the United States that have Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and about 25 million who have asthma. CF is often confused with asthma because of their symptom similarities. CF‚ despite what people may think is far more severe than asthma. Most people think that CF would be easier to treat and cure because there are fewer people with it. Unfortunately‚ at this point there is no cure for CF. Cystic Fibrosis is far more severe than asthma because it is terminal‚ the treatment

Christopher Smith Miss Chiu AP Bio CF Case Study March 19‚ 2015 Questions: 1. Currently‚ scientists believe that Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a defect in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis (CF). This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your body’s cells. In people who have CF‚ the gene makes a protein that doesn’t work well. This causes thick‚ sticky mucus and very salty sweat. Every person inherits two CFTR genes—one from each parent. Children

Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis‚ a very serious inherited genetic disease‚ is also known as CF and sixty-five roses. This disease affects one in every 3‚000 live births. It may first appear in a newborn‚ but can appear all the way up until a young adult. However‚ ten percent of most cases are apparent at birth. CF affects the lungs and causes a build-up of abnormally thick mucus which leads to chest infections‚ and CF also affects the reproductive system. Doctors do not know what causes the mucus

The research in detail is that cystic fibrosis is classified as a genetic disorder and in what ways this disorder affects the gene expressions. More facts found in this paper will be who can get cystic fibrosis‚ which organs are mostly affected‚ and what specifically causes the problems found from cystic fibrosis. Common symptoms from this
