Is cystic fibrosis communicable or non-communicable?
It is a non-communicable disease that is spread through inheritance and genetics.
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 is an example of non-infectious disease?
Non-infectious diseases are those that are not caused by pathogens. Examples include Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and congestive heart failure.
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.
What would someone with non functional chloride channels have?
Cystic Fibrosis
What does heterozygous have to do with cystic fibrosis?
people who are heterozygous for cystic fibrosis are not directly affected by the disease (although there is some evidence they have more chance of getting Asama) however they do still carry the gene for CF (they are carriers) this means if they have kids with another carrier they have a 25% chance of having a CF positive child (out of four one non effected, two carriers, and one diseased)
Is smallpox communicable or non-comunicable?
Communicatable
Do environmental factors effect cystic fibrosis?
The environment can have an effect on someone's disorder, and depending on the disorder, and the person, altering the environment could help. However, some disorders are not able to be helped through any means.
Is arthritis commuiable or noncommunicale?
Arthritis is non comunicable. although there are genetic factors involved.
Is alcoholism communicable or noncommunicable?
non-communicable
Does a female or male more likely to inherit cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, therefore, neither male nor female is more likely to inherit the disease. There are four different scenarios that can occur to "pass on" the disease. First, both parents have CF, and in this scenario all offspring would have CF as well. Second, One parent has CF and the other doesn't. This scenario has two subgroups. The parent that does not have CF could either be a carrier or have no CF gene. If the non-CF parent is a carrier then 3 out of 4 children would inherit CF. If the non-CF parent is not a carrier then 2 of 4 children would inherit it. Third, both parents are carriers, and in this scenario 2 of 4 offspring would inherit CF. Fourth, one parent is a carrier and the other is not. This would yield 1 out of 4 offspring inheriting CF. The genes for CF are located on non-sex chromosomes (autosomes) and therefore there is no correlation to Cystic Fibrosis and sex.
