Cystic fibrosis is genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. The consequence of this is production of an abnormal transmembrane protein that is responsible for producing sweat, mucus, and digestive fluids. Please  mention the process involved in protein production, whether or not those process(s) have occurred, and their end products.
