5 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe inherited disease among Caucasians There are about 4 CF patients in Danmark Life expectancy is about 4 years Clinical symptoms of CF Salty taste of the skin Failure to grow ulky and greasy stool (steatorrhea) Thick sputum Coughing or wheezing Frequent recurring pneumonia (spec. P. aeruginosa) The symptoms may differ with varying degree of severity and with varying prognosis Question: Are there genetic factors that may modify the course of the disease?
