Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder with an incidence of roughly 1 in 3,200 live births in North America (1). Outcomes have steadily been improving in a magnitude that has been largely unparalleled for genetic disorders. In the last 30 years the median age of survival has moved from 14 to 32 years (2) and it is projected that an individual born today with CF, in developed countries, can expect to live into their forties (3, 4).
