The American Thoracic Society has reviewed and compiled some of the most detailed and well annotated websites on cystic fibrosis providing educational material for physicians as well their patients (and their families). These sites were stringently reviewed according to five aspects: authority, currency of information, accuracy, navigation & readability, and utility.

Their top recommendations:

1. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
2. Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Database
3. ClinicalTrials.gov
4. MedlinePlus
5. Genetics Home Reference
6. Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
7. Cellscience
8. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Diseases and Conditions Index
