About one of every 30 white people (about 3 in 100 or about 3%) carries the gene. If a relative of yours has CF, or is known to be a carrier of CF, your chance of being a carrier is greater based on your family history than your ethnic background. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-shortening, childhood-onset inherited diseases. In the United States, 1 in 3900 children are born with CF. It is most common among Europeans and Ashkenazi Jews; one in twenty-two people of European descent are carriers of one gene for CF, making it the most common genetic disease in these populations. Ireland has the highest rate of CF carriers in the world (1 in 19).
Everyone who has Cystic Fibrosis is at some risk to some degree.
