An illness which would cause a shortened life span and difficulty in breathing?

I realize that this is a somewhat unusual question - I'm a novelist, and am planning to do more research but need a general sphere to research inside. The character in question needs to have an illness or condition which would cause a life expectancy of about 30-40 even with excellent treatment, and, if at all possible, persistent difficulty in breathing. Thank you.
Could I be a pain and ask for genetic illnesses or conditions, or those which would present in a childhood without any pollution? Breathing less important than life expectancy.
