Cycstic Fibrosis
An autosomal disease
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common, life threatening, inherited diseases, primarily affecting populations of white Caucasian descent, such as those of Europe, North America and Australasia (Table 1). CF affects about 1 in 2,500 newborn babies in the UK, and the estimated population of patients in the UK is currently around 9,000. CF is an autosomal monogenic recessive disorder for which there is no cure at present.
