The accumulated mucus can effectively destroy the pancreases, thereby affecting the body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a gene mutation action that encodes CFTR protein or the trans-membrane conductance regulator protein. The resulting chloride build up in the cells is what causes high production of mucous. This protein creates channels in the cell surface that allow Chloride ions to leave the cells, causing protein deformation and faulty
