Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease that was previously a fatal pediatric disease with no treatment; however, due to scientific advancements, the median age of survival for the CF population born in 2018 has increased from 29 in 1989 to 47.4 in 2018. This is an innovative era for the treatment of CF as advanced research continues to evolve and novel treatments for the disease and related illnesses are discovered.
