About 1 out of 201 Caucasian people carry at least one of the fatal defective genes that cause cystic fibrosis, CF, or mucoviscidosis (in Europe) although carriers don't show any signs of the disease. Therefore, 10 million people carry the defective gene and don’t know it. Consequently, it is one of the most common genetic defect in the United States.

…showed last 75 words of 665 total…approximately 3,000,018 children and adults that are living with this disorder.

Perhaps in the next century, we can say that cystic fibrosis is completely abolished. Maybe the new medications and therapies won't have to be as painful as they are now. But maybe in the end maybe life will be better for Cystic fibrosis patients.
