A genetic disorder that may cause pancreatic deficiency is known as?

Cystic fibrosis is the correct answer because it is a genetic disorder that significantly impacts the functionality of the pancreas among other organs. In cystic fibrosis, a mutation in the CFTR gene leads to the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can obstruct the pancreatic ducts. This obstruction prevents digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines, resulting in pancreatic insufficiency. People with cystic fibrosis often require enzyme replacement therapy to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.

Sickle cell anemia, muscular dystrophy, and hemophilia do not primarily affect pancreatic function. Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder affecting hemoglobin; muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that lead to muscle degeneration; and hemophilia is a bleeding disorder due to lack of clotting factors. Each of these conditions has distinct characteristics and does not include pancreatic deficiency as a primary complication.
