I was just wondering this myself. My little brother recently had an anal prolapse, the trait runs on one side but he's been tested. I'm not sure if he needs more testing or if we need to look for another cause. Incomplete dominance is such a fuzzy place in genetics I have a feeling that if it's not diagnosable, he's suffering from some sort of negative genetic influence.
Sorry I couldn't help but this is such an unknown place in any of the fields that deal with genetic disease.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, not an X-linked disorder. It means that both copies of the gene responsible for CF need to be mutated in order to develop the disorder. Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic trait where the heterozygous condition results in an intermediate phenotype, which is not the case for CF.
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
Assuming that each parent is a carrier for cystic fibrosis (has the genotype Ff), the probability that their second child will develop cystic fibrosis is one fourth. The probability doesn't change with the number of children they have. For each pregnancy, the chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis (have the genotype ff) is exactly the same.
It is the gene for cystic fibrosis. CFTR means Cystic Fibrosis Transport Regulator.
hey I'm not positive but I believe that Cystic Fibrosis is autosomal. My reasonning for this is that there seems to be an equal number of females that have cystic fibrosis as there are males. I AM NOT POSITIVE.

What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a life threatening disease.
cystic fibrosis (:cystic fibrosis :)cystic fibrosis ^-^
Yes, girls can get cystic fibrosis.
Is a carrier of cystic fibrosis
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
To found Cystic Fibrosis, watch Princess and I!!!
cystic fibrosis foundation
No, there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis.
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, 2 parents have a CF gene, if their offspring inherits that trait they will have Cystic Fibrosis.
