Product Description: Since the discovery of the CF gene in 1989, scientists have learned a great deal about the biology of this disease which strikes one child in every 3,300 births. With the gene pinpointed, scientists are now working on ways to replace it and are developing better tests for earlier diagnosis. Understanding CF charts the progress that has been made in a disease whose symptoms can range from mild respiratory distress to life-threatening lung infections
