O absence of pigment
O skin disorders
O respiratory and digestive issues
The correct answer is: respiratory and digestive issues.
Cystic fibrosis primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems. It leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that clogs the airways, making it difficult to breathe and increasing the risk of respiratory infections. It also affects the pancreas, causing digestive problems and malabsorption of nutrients. Other complications may include sinus infections, growth and development issues, infertility, and liver disease.
