There are many kind of cell membrane disease‚ There are : Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that cause by gene mutation of CFTR Protein. CFTR it’s stand for Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This disease causes too much production of thick mucus‚ then the mucus will blocked the ion transport in epithelial cells that line the passageways of the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and other organs.

Frame shift mutations are unhealthy because it causes diseases‚ there is no cure‚ and it can be passed down to new born babies. Cystic fibrosis is a caused by a frame shift mutation specifically‚ deletion mutation. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system.

Topic: Cystic Fibrosis Introduction Cystic Fibrosis (CF) according to Cohen 2004‚ is the most common fatal hereditary disease amongst children and adults. It is an autosomal recessive disorder‚ and most carriers of the gene are asymptomatic. The flawed gene that causes CF affects the glandular secretions by altering chloride transport across cell membranes. Thickening of bronchial secretions leads to infection and other respiratory disorders. Other mucus secreting glands
