Extractions: Every year, 1,000 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are born in the United States. One in 3,000 Caucasian babies have the disorder, making CF one of the most common lethal genetic diseases in Caucasians. Overall, there are 30,000 Americans with CF, and an estimated 8 million people carry one copy of the defective gene that causes the disease. These carriers do not have symptoms of CF, because a person must inherit two defective gene copies-one from each parent-to develop the disease. However, each child of two CF carriers has a one in four chance of being born with CF. Genetic testing is now available to identify couples at risk for having children with CF. Improved therapy has transformed CF from a disease characterized by death in early childhood to a chronic illness, with most patients living to adulthood. But despite this progress, there still is no cure for the disease and most patients eventually succumb to infections of the airways and lung failure. Since the 1989 identification of the gene which is altered in CF, the pace of basic research has increased rapidly, and scientists hope to translate new knowledge about the molecular basis of the disease to new therapies to improve the lives of patients with this genetic disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), in partnership with other components of the National Institutes of Health and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, continues to foster research on the molecular processes contributing to CF, exploration of gene therapy to cure the disease, and efforts to develop other new and effective treatments.

Extractions: (formerly known as the European Working Group for Cystic Fibrosis) Mission Statement: The ECFS aims to achieve the best possible treatment and the highest quality of life for the patient with cystic fibrosis by the development and distribution of knowledge in the field of cystic fibrosis The polymorphic nature of cystic fibrosis has resulted in the involvement of a large number of different clinical and scientific disciplines for the study and treatment of the disease. The European Cystic Fibrosis Society provides a European forum where such clinicians and scientists can meet, present and discuss the latest findings concerning the disease. Membership of the society is open to any clinician or scientist actively engaged in CF research or CF care.

of human genes and disorders Information Fact sheet from the National Heart, Lungand Blood Institute, NIH The cystic fibrosis foundation information and links.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/disease/CF.html

Extractions: CF is caused by a defective gene, which codes for a sodium and chloride (salt) transporter found on the surface of the epithelial cells that line the lungs and other organs. Several hundred mutations have been found in this gene, all of which result in defective transport of sodium and chloride by epithelial cells. The severity of the disease symptoms of CF is directly related to the characteristic effects of the particular mutation(s) that have been inherited by the sufferer. CF research has accelerated sharply since the discovery of CFTR in 1989. In 1990, scientists successfully cloned the normal gene and added it to CF cells in the laboratory, which corrected the defective sodium chloride transport mechanism. This technique - gene therapy - was then tried on a limited number of CF patients. However this treatment may not be as successful as originally hoped. Further research will be required before gene therapy, and other experimental treatments, prove useful in combating CF.
