Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder - that is, two defective genes (one for each parent) are needed to develop the disease. The gene thought to cause cystic fibrosis is called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or CFTR. This gene is on chromosome 7. The severity and extent of this disease vary greatly among patients with cystic fibrosis. Typically, this condition results in chloride transport defects through epithelial cells and an increase in the viscosity of bodily secretions, particularly from the respiratory tract (ie, lungs, throat) and pancreas. As a result, the patient is prone to pancreatic dysfunction and recurrent thoracic infection
Marten deVlieger was initially diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. This is a degenerative incurable disease affecting the whole body, especially the lungs. "Life with cystic fibrosis is a continuous task." Most of us are said to be unable to live at 2, 10, 21 from birth. It is rare that people live in today's average CF life, he said he believes that 'this might be me'. But Marten dreams of independence. Since he wanted to take a helicopter, he used it as a teenager to locate local waste dumps, find metal scraps and parts and reflect the traditional mucus relaxation method of CF patients. . His first iteration was too much trouble to hurt him. However, ChestMaster 5000 was born.
