The secretions affect tubes, ducts, and passageways, especially in the lungs and pancreas. It usually requires daily care but people can carry out their regular activities such as attending school and work. CF is inherited from parents to children through genes and for a baby to have CF, it has to inherit the gene from both the parents. A gene, a part of your body’s cells stores instructions for the way your body grows, works and functions and comes in pairs. Cystic Fibrosis in newborn babies All newborn babies have a screening test for CF, as suggested by a gynaecologist in Panchkula so it can be found and treated as soon as possible.
