A member asked:
Is there a common age to start showing signs of cystic fibrosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth to teen years: The most common variant of CF is detected at birth or would appear shortly thereafter anyway. Most cases are caught by the teen years, but rarer forms show up as late as 30 or so.
