What is cystic fibrosis gene disorder?
The genes on each chromosome control specific functions of the human body. The gene on chromosome 7 produces a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator. Mutation in the DNA level of chromosome 7 leads to the absence of this protein which leads to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease. It means that both copies of the gene must be defective. An affected person will have abnormal cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene on each chromosome 7. Therefore both biological parents must have an abnormal gene. One abnormal copy is inherited from each parent. A person with one normal gene and one abnormal gene is called a cystic fibrosis carrier. Cystic fibrosis carriers do not show any symptoms but they may pass the abnormal gene to their children. Therefore the parents can be either cystic fibrosis carriers or affected themselves.
