Orphan Drug Act about Cystic Fobrosis

While learning about the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, there was a brief discussion about Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

For this week’s knowledge check, I would like for you to use the internet to lookup information on cystic fibrosis. You will need to create a 250 or more word essay on its causes, incidence in the US population, symptoms, and major pharmacological treatments. You will also need to define an orphan drug and justify if a drug for CF would qualify for such status.
