There are no symptoms or anything in a carrier of cystic fibrosis. The only way to find out is to get tested, or if you have a child with cystic fibrosis, you must be a carrier, as well as your partner.

Is cystic fibrosis an infectious disease?
Good Question. The answer is cystic fibrosis is not contagious, however, people with cystic fibrosis tend to carry bacterial infections that can cause serious issues to other people with CF, so infection control procedures should be used when two or more cystics are around each other. General population folks need not fear of getting cystic fibrosis from others - it's a hereditary disease.

What are some facts about cystic fibrosis?
More than 1,000 different mutations in the CFTR gene have been identified in cystic fibrosis patients. The most common mutation (observed in 70% of cystic fibrosis patients) is a three-base deletion in the DNA sequence, causing an absence of a single amino acid in the protein product. About 2,500 babies are born with cystic fibrosis in the U.S. each year. More than 10 million Americans carry the cystic fibrosis gene but don't know it.

Cystic Fibrosis cannot be prevented. It is an inherited disease, so there is no possible way to prevent something inherited. One parent will be a carrier and so will the other parent, therefore resulting in the child having CF.
Why can't natural selection eliminate cystic fibrosis allele?
The prevalence of CF carriers (meaning they carry one mutation) is 1 in 25 in the Caucasian population. Most people don't even know that they are carriers until they have a child with CF. That means that the CF allele can unknowingly be passed down through generations. Carriers are typically asymptomatic and there is evidence to support that the CF mutation protected our ancestors from fatal diseases. So natural selection actually played a role in the proliferation of CF carriers.
