text: If neither parent has a disease causing gene mutation; that is, neither parent is a carrier, then it is highly unlikely that cystic fibrosis will be passed down.
text: Parents who have one copy with a gene mutation are called “carriers”.
text: A child can inherit CF only if both parents carry a CF gene (that is, each parent either has CF or is a carrier) and both parents pass the CF gene on to their child.
text: If your child has CF, both of parents are carriers of CF, or one parent is a carrier and the other parent has CF.

text: If both parents are carriers, each of their children has a 25% chance of having the disorder.
text: If both parents are carriers there is a 1 in 4 (25 percent) chance that both will pass on the non-functioning gene, which would result in a pregnancy affected with cystic fibrosis.

text: When both parents are carriers, with each pregnancy there is a: 1 in 4 chance of having a child with cystic fibrosis, 1 in 2 chance of having a child who is a carrier or 1 in 4 chance of having an unaffected child.
text: When EACH parent has a WORKING copy of a CF gene and are carriers, then EACH pregnancy…
text: When both parents are carriers there is a 25% chance in every pregnancy that the child will have CF, a 25% chance that the child will have two normal CFTR genes and a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier (figure 2).
text: Cystic fibrosis can be inherited, but only if both parents are carriers.
text: This occurs when both parents carry the gene that leads to a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene; assuming both parents are carriers for the mutation, their child has a 25% chance of having that mutation, even if neither parent shows symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
text: Two parents who are carriers for the mutated gene have a twenty-five percent chance of passing the disease on to their child, a fifty percent chance that their child will be a carrier for the gene, and a twenty-five percent chance that their child with neither have CF nor carry a CF gene.
text: For parents who are both carriers, there is a 1 in 4 chance with each pregnancy that the child will have cystic fibrosis.
text: Both biological parents must either be carriers or have CF in order for their child to have CF.
