I’m going to try to explain CF in easy terms for everyone to understand what it is (a beginners intro).
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-shortening diseases. In the United States, 1 in 3,900 children are born with CF. It is most common among western European populations.
One in twenty-two people of Mediterranean descent are carriers of one gene for CF, making it the most common genetic disease in these populations. Cystic Fibrosis is very common in the UK where Ireland has the highest rate of CF carriers in the world.

We are all searching for information all the time.
I have done so much research by myself (i am not a medical expert just need the infor about CF).
I am attaching here a table with many great resources on the internet to find information and more about Cystic Fibrosis. I wanted to share it with you all after finding it at the Cystic Fibrosis Research, Inc.
Check it out!
