Cystic Fibrosis affects both males and females, but is not contagious to healthy individuals. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by mutations (changes) in a gene on chromosome 7, one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes that children inherit from their parents.Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in their DNA. The CF gene is found on chromosome number 7.It takes two copies of a CF gene-one inherited from each parent-for a child to show symptoms of CF. Persons born with only one CF gene (inherited from only one parent) and one normal gene are CF carriers.umans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in their DNA. The CF gene is found on chromosome number 7.

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that causes the body to produce thick and sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas. This genetic disease can be life threatening, and affects an estimated 30,000 children and adults in the US, with around 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Cystic fibrosis is most commonly diagnosed via a sweat test. 2  There are over 1,900 known mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene. 3  Even people with the same gene variation can have vastly different phenotypes, causing significant differences in symptoms and prognosis. 4  There is currently no absolute cure for cystic fibrosis.
