Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a fatal genetic disorder that affects more than 30,000 Americans, usually the most vulnerable among us: our children. Although CF is not yet curable, the situation is not hopeless. Every day since the CF gene was discovered in 1989, the pace of CF research has greatly accelerated, and scientists continue to find ways to help those who live with the disease. Today, many people with CF now live into their late-30s and have fuller and more comfortable lives. Learn more >
