WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal genetic disease affecting over 30,000 Americans today. An additional 12 million Americans - approximately one in 23, unknowingly carry only one gene and are unaffected by the disease.
To have the disease, a child must inherit a defective copy of the CF gene from each parent. When two carriers conceive, there is a 25 percent chancE that their child will have CF, a 50 percent chance they will be a carrier and a 25 percent chance the child will be a non-carrier.
