The purpose of this study is to understand what genes may be responsible for the similarities or differences in severity of lung, sinus, liver or intestinal problems associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) between members of the same family. The underlying cause of CF is change in a gene called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), but even people with the same change in the same family may have differences in severity of lung, sinus, liver or intestinal problems.

Eligible participants include twins and siblings of all ages with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Boys: All ages Girls: All ages
