Sbi4u Molecgenetics lp2 Appendix3

Genetic mutations can cause diseases like cystic fibrosis by changing the instructions in DNA. A mutation in the CFTR gene causes cystic fibrosis by creating a faulty version of a chloride channel protein. This prevents proper fluid movement in organs like the lungs, causing the buildup of thick mucus that leads to infections and lung damage over time.
