Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting in mutations in the gene that encodes the CF transmembrane regulator, which functions as a chloride channel. This results in chloride channel dysfunction in epithelial cells lining exocrine glands with increased viscosity of secretions. Pregnant women with severe pulmonary dysfunction prior to pregnancy may have increased maternal and neonatal morbidity.
