The Genetics of Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease. This means that CF is inherited. A child will be born with CF only if two CF genes are inherited--one from the mother and one from the father.A person who has only one CF gene is healthy and said to be a carrier of the disease.he seventh pair of chromosomes contains a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. Mutations or errors in this gene are what cause CF. This gene is quite large and complex.
The CF gene was discovered in 1989 on chromosome pair 7 -- volume 7 in our genetic encyclopedia -- by researchers supported by the CF Foundation. Cystic fibrosis is an example of a recessive disease. That means a person must have a mutation in both copies of the CF gene to have CF.ystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene that produces the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This protein is responsible for regulating the flow of salt and fluids in and out of the cells in different parts of the body.
