How many copies of an allele need to be present for someone to have cystic fibrosis?
Both cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are single mutation diseases - one mutation in a single gene is enough to cause the disease. However, for cystic fibrosis both alleles of the gene must be mutated for the disease to develop. For sickle cell anemia, only one allele can carry the mutation and some signs of the disorder will be present. Having two alleles with the mutation causes much more significant disease.
