Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder. The faulty gene affects the production of mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. Thick mucus clogs the lungs (respiratory issue) and blocks the pancreas (digestive issue as it affects the release of digestive enzymes). Skin disorders are more related to conditions like eczema, psoriasis etc. Circulatory and cardiovascular diseases are about heart and blood vessels (e.g., heart failure, atherosclerosis). Absence of pigment is related to albinism.
