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.


Is cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?

Cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is located on chromosome 7. These mutations can result in a defective or non-functioning CFTR protein, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disease.


Is smallpox communicable or non-comunicable?

Communicatable


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)


What would someone with non functional chloride channels have?

Someone with non-functional chloride channels may experience cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. This is because chloride channels play a crucial role in regulating the movement of salt and water in and out of cells, and when they are not functioning properly, it can lead to the production of thick mucus in the body.


Is cystic fibrosis non disjunction?

Cystic fibrosis is not caused by nondisjunction; it is a genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the CFTR gene, which is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Nondisjunction refers to the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division, leading to an abnormal number of chromosomes in gametes. While nondisjunction can lead to conditions like Down syndrome or Turner syndrome, cystic fibrosis is specifically linked to changes in a single gene rather than chromosomal abnormalities.


Which amino acid is missing in the CFTR protein in people with cystic fibrosis?

The amino acid missing in the CFTR protein in people with cystic fibrosis is phenylalanine at position 508, resulting from a deletion of a single codon (ΔF508). This deletion leads to improper folding and trafficking of the CFTR protein, causing it to be degraded and non-functional.


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?
