An overview on cystic fibrosis: Comprehensive insight and current developments

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that significantly impacts the respiratory and digestive systems affecting approximately 70,000 people globally. It’s well known that orphan diseases are conditions that affect a small percentage of the population, often lacking sufficient treatment options. Likely, CF is also classified as an orphan disease in many countries due to its rarity (1-3).
