The general qualifications for donating eggs are quite strict. As well as being within normal weight, height, and IQ, they often will ask for a family history of any diseases, including cystic fibrosis. They would most likely refuse an egg donation from anyone with any diseases than could be passed on to a child.

What does a CFTR gene stand for?
It is the gene for cystic fibrosis. CFTR means Cystic Fibrosis Transport Regulator.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
What has gene therapy shown promise in controlling?
Gene therapy has shown promise in controlling Cystic fibrosis.
How do you got cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, 2 parents have a CF gene, if their offspring inherits that trait they will have Cystic Fibrosis.
Is there gene therapy for cystic fibrosis?
no
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a pathogen?
No, cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition. Both parents carry the gene.
A husband and wife have a son with cystic fibrosis Their second child a daughter does not Prepare a pedigree for this family?
To have cystic fibrosis both parents have to be a carrier. Each parent passes on one of their genes to their children; they each have one healthy and one cystic fibrosis gene. The child with cystic fibrosis receives a cystic fibrosis gene from each parent. The other child has at least one healthy gene if she does not have cystic fibrosis, though she could be a carrier. hope it would help
Is cystic fibrosis dominant or recessive?
Cystic Fibrosis is recessive. If you have one CF gene and one non-CF gene, you will be a carrier but not have CF.
Is cystic fibrosis a genetic disorder?
Polygenic means influenced by multiple genes. Cystic fibrosis is a single gene disorder, in which a mutation occurs in one gene that specifies cystic fibrosis, in this case CFTR gene. There are thousands of possible mutations in this gene but the most common mutation is the deletion of one codon.
Is cystic fibrosis carried on a dominant of recessive gene?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
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.)
What would be the genotype of a person with cystic fibrosis?
The genotype of a person with CF is cc. The genotype of a carrier of a CF mutation is Cc.
