Hi, I just turned 13 a little while ago and it is very hard waking up everyday and knowing that you will have to take treatments and other things before you can even just go and hang out with your friends. So you just pray everyday and hope it dosent get any worse. If you have anymore questions about CF just ask and I will answer.

Having CF in your teens is the same as having CF when you're younger - you just have to be more diligent with your treatments.

It affects the CFTR gene: cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. The CFTR gene is found in region q31.2 on the long (q) arm of human chromosome 7. About 70% of mutations observed in CF patients result from deletion of three base pairs in CFTR's nucleotide sequence. This deletion causes loss of the amino acid phenylalanine located at position 508 in the protein; therefore, this mutation is referred to as delta F508 or DeltaF508. Thats about all the technical stuff I know about the gene.
