Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system, leading to thick, sticky mucus buildup. This can cause chronic respiratory infections, lung damage, and difficulties with nutrient absorption from food. The disease significantly shortens life expectancy and quality of life, as patients often face frequent hospitalizations and intensive treatments. Despite advances in treatment, there is currently no cure, making CF particularly challenging to manage.
