Cystic Fibrosis
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at Rowland Medical Library. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the United States. Approximately one in 2,500 American children is born with the disease. Cystic fibrosis is a disorder of the exocrine glands, which causes the body to produce thick, sticky secretions in the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestine, and reproductive tract. Cystic fibrosis also increases the salt content in sweat gland secretions. The sweat test is the standard diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis. Once considered a childhood disease, the median survival age is now 29 years. Currently, there is no cure for cystic fibrosis.
