2 A child is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease Neither parent has the disease How might the child have inherited the disorder?

Both parents are carriers of the recessive gene and if the child inherits that gene from both mother and father the child will have the disease even though the parents don't.

A child is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease neither parent has this disease how was the disorder inherited?
Recessive is carried by both parentsIn simplest terms, the disease is recessive, so two copies of the gene that cause it are necessary. Both parents have only one copy of the gene, so, they don't have it, but are carriers. A child gets half his or her genes from each parent. If the child gets the bad gene from each parent, the child will have the disease. There is a 25% chance of this happening with every child these parents have.

Why can Cystic fibrosis be inherited even if neither parent has the disease?
Cystic Fibrosis is an example of a disease inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Both parents of a baby who has Cystic Fibrosis have one abnormal recessive gene and one normal dominant gene and are therefore, Cystic Fibrosis carriers. Carriers are said to be heterozygous because they contain one normal copy of the gene and one abnormal copy. A baby who inherits cystic fibrosis has inherited the abnormal gene from both parents and is therefore said to be homozygous recessive.
