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.

Description: The Cystic Fibrosis Profile test is used to determine carrier status for the 32 most common cystic fibrosis mutations. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder which causes damage to the lungs and digestive system.Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may be passed onto a baby when both parents are carriers.escription: The Cystic Fibrosis Profile test is used to determine carrier status for the 32 most common cystic fibrosis mutations.
