Best Answer

No, this is an inherited disease. If you are concerned about having a child with cf you can get genetic testing to see if you and your partner are carriers of the gene.

If you and your partner are carriers - 25% chance

If one of you has CF and the other is a carrier - 50% chance

If you both have CF - baby will have CF

If neither partner is a carrier - 0% chance
