      Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. CF affects over 30,000 individuals in the United States and more than 70,000 individuals worldwide. The gene responsible for CF (CFTR) was identified in 1989. However, phenotypic variation in a monogenic disorder, such as CF, can be attributed to several sources, including different mutations in the disease-causing gene, genetic modifiers, environmental factors, and interactions… Show more Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. CF affects over 30,000 individuals in the United States and more than 70,000 individuals worldwide. The gene responsible for CF (CFTR) was identified in 1989. However, phenotypic variation in a monogenic disorder, such as CF, can be attributed to several sources, including different mutations in the disease-causing gene, genetic modifiers, environmental factors, and interactions among and between any of these sources. It has become increasingly evident that modifier genes play substantial roles in determining the severity of disease, particularly lung disease. Identifying and characterizing these modifiers is crucial in devising therapies and other interventions to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this disorder. Show less
