Carriers of cystic fibrosis do not have the disease themselves, as they possess one normal copy and one mutated copy of the CFTR gene. However, they can pass the mutated gene to their children. For a child to develop cystic fibrosis, they must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. Therefore, while carriers do not have cystic fibrosis, they play a crucial role in its inheritance.
