cystic fibrosis is not communicable- it is genetic

you spelled it correctly, but it is not infectious, it is genetic.

I think you are confused. Cystic fibrosis is not an infectious disease. It is a disease that causes mucus in the body to become thick, dry, and sticky.

Cystic fibrosis is inherited via a gene from both parents.

People with cystic fibrosis can have serious breathing problems and lung disease. They can also have problems with nutrition, digestion, growth, and development. There is no cure for cystic fibrosis and the disease gets worse over time.

The life expectancy has been steadily increasing and most people can now survive into their 30s...with some even making their 40s.

You spelled it correctly. Cystic fibrosis is not an infectious disease. It is a genetic disease. "Cystic fibrosis (CF), also called mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal, recessive, hereditary disease of the exocrine glands. It affects the lungs, sweat glands and the digestive system, causing chronic respiratory and digestive problems. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. It is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians."
