AB  - Cystic  fibrosis  (CF)  is  the  most  common  profoundly  life-shortening  inherited  disease  in  North  America.  In  1938,  Dr.  Dorothy  Andersen  first  described  the  complex  of  respiratory  and  digestive  signs  and  symptoms  that  make  up  this  syndrome,1  but  references  to  a  childhood  disorder  characterized  by  salty  sweat  and  early  death  date  back  to  at  least  the  Middle  Ages.  The  cellular  and  molecular  bases  for  the  disorder  have  recently  been  elucidated.2,3
