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.
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.
