CF in animals
- Question
- Can animals also suffer from CF or can this disease only occur in humans?
- Answer
- Hello,
CF is an inherited (=genetically based) metabolic disease. There are so-called animal models (e.g. mouse, pig) for research of this disease, where animlas are changed genetically for research issues.
Spontaneous occurrence of CF in animals is not known.
