Andra delar av kroppen
Cystisk fibros påverkar också många andra delar av kroppen
CFTR*-protein finns i hela kroppen, vilket innebär att människor med cystisk fibros (CF) kan ha en lång rad olika symptom. Symptomen hos dem som har CF kan som bekant variera mellan olika personer. Det gäller både vilka symptom man får och hur svåra symptomen blir. Variationen är resultatet av varje persons CFTR- mutationer, gener och omgivning.

*CFTR = Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
