In my experience with my long-term boyfriend (32 yo. CF patient), the biggest emotional effect I see with him having CF has been that since the time he was very little, he remembers feel different. As an adult this has turned into feelings of loneliness and being alone. It has had many serious implications on our relationship and other relationships he has had.

What is the genotype of an individual that is not affected with cystic fibrosis?
Let's call the gene "C." Capital C means no cystic fibrosis; lower c means cystic fibrosis, since it is a recessive gene. CC is a person who does not have cystic fibrosis and also is not a carrier. Cc indicated a carrier. cc shows a person with cystic fibrosis. In order for a child to have cystic fibrosis, its parents must be: 1. cc and cc (both have cystic fibrosis, so every child will as well.) 2. Cc and Cc (both carriers; 25% chance of having a child with cystic fibrosis) 3. Cc and cc (one parent is a carrier and one has cystic fibrosis; there is a 50% chance that the children will have cystic fibrosis.)
Can people be misdiagnosed with cystic fibrosis?
Yes, but usually the hospital will do 2 or 3 tests.
When C equals normal allele and c equals allele for cystic fibrosis Set up and complete a Punnett Square for cystic fibrosis for a couple that both have heterozygous for cystic fibrosis with no sympt?
M-> C c F C CC Cc c Cc cc phenotype- 3:1 genotype- 1:2:1
A couple who are both carriers of the gene for cystic fibrosis have two children who have cystic fibrosis What is the probability that their next child will be phenotypically normal?
If both parents are carriers on cystic fibrosis, just because two children may have the disease it doesn't mean that say,a further 3 children in future will be "normal". Inheriting genes is like a lottery. I can say though that because cystic fibrosis is recessive, every offspring born under carriers will always have a 75% chance of being phenotypically normal.
What diseases are caused by air pollution?
1.cystic fibrosis 2.lung cancer 3.allergie
How old is a child with cystic fibrosis?
Most people who have this disease die around 35 .
What is survival rate for Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening genetic disorder. More children are living into adulthood with better treatment options. The death rate is 100 percent, when the lungs and pancreas quit functioning.
When did Ramsay Hill die?
Ramsay Hill died on February 3, 1976, in Van Nuys, California, USA of cystic fibrosis.
What are the chances of passing on the CF gene?
If the spouse he or she has the gene needed to pass on cystic fibrosis, then yes it will have children with cystic fibrosis. If the spouse does not have that gene then the child will not have cystic fbrosis but will be a gene carrier of cystic fibrosis.
Is cystic fibrosis controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
It is controlled by a recessive allele. The gene encodes a chloride ion channel that is required to make sweat, mucus and a few other things. One copy of the gene is sufficient to prevent cystic fibrosis, and it is only when both copies are defective that the person would have the disease and show symptoms.
Why does cystic fibrosis make people infertile?
Over 95% of males with cystic Fibrosis are infertile. There are 3 reasons why this is true. 1) Often, the males lacks the pretense of his vas deferens, the tubes which move sperm from the testicles to the penis. 2) At other times, the vas deferens is blocked, and sperm are unable to pass through. 3) Finally, when there is a sufficient opening for the sperm to pass through, the sperm are insufficiently mobile and cannot make their way through the vaginal tract to the female egg.
If both parents have cystic fibrosis what is the probability that one child will have it?
It depends weather or not the woman carries the cystic fibrosis alele. If she carries a recessive CF allele, then the chances of her and the man having a child with CF is 1/4 But if she doesn't carry it then the child wont have CF but could carry the disorder as a recessive allele. again, the chances of that are 1/4.
