What to know

National registry count, all ages at diagnosis (39.6% of 2024 diagnoses were adults). The US registry (Stephenson et al., J Cyst Fibros 2023, PMID 36371312) estimates 1 in 5,130 live births in 2019 but states no yearly count; the CF Foundation and UK CF Trust pages refuse plain reads.
