Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene on chromosome 7, producing thick, sticky mucus that clogs airways and digestive ducts; heterozygous carriers do not develop symptoms.
La fibrosis quística es un trastorno autosómico recesivo causado por una mutación en el gen CFTR del cromosoma 7, que produce moco espeso y pegajoso, obstruyendo vías respiratorias y conductos digestivos; los portadores heterocigotos no desarrollan síntomas.
