Is cystic fibrosis a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Do carriers have to have cystic fibrosis?
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.
Is it possible for a mother to have two kids with different father be born with cystic fibrosis?
Depends. If your mother has cystic fibrosis and your father is a carrier, there is a 50% chance that any of their children will have cystic fibrosis. If the father is not a carrier, no children will have cystic fibrosis, but they will all be carriers.
