How can a child with cystic fibrosis have two parents that do not have cystic fibrosis?
The parents will both have a specific gene defect. If they do there is then a 1 in 4 chance of them having a child with cf. so if you are considering having children you should have a blood test to find out if you are a carrier of the gene causing cf. hope that helps.
Is being heterozygous a serious medical issue?
Everyone is heterozygous at many genetic loci. It means the gene you got from your mother is different from the gene you got from your father. Since you got one chromosome (one gene) from each parent, there's a reasonable chance you'l be heterozygous in genes where there are different genes in the population. Depending on the gene, heterozygous can be an advantage - a "good" gene can overcome a "bad" gene.
Can a male be a carrier for hemophilia?
The gene for hemophilia is found on the 'X' human chromosome. However it is a recessive gene so if a woman (who has two 'XX' chromosomes) has one bad 'X' and one good 'X' she will not have hemophilia but will be a carrier .If she has female children and their father is not a hemophiliac, then half of her daughters may carry the bad 'X' chromosome but non will manifest the disease.However, if her children are male then her sons will have an 'X' chromosome inherited from her and a 'Y' chromosome inherited form the father and there is a 50% chance that the 'X' chromosome inherited will be the bad one. If the son inherits the bad 'X' he will be a hemophiliac and if he lives to father any daughters then all these daughters will be hemophilia carriers (because they must inherit his (bad) 'X' chromosome).It is possible for a woman to manifest hemophilia if the mother is a carrier and the father is a hemophiliac. In this case it is possible for a daughter to inherit the bad 'X' from the father and the mother's bad 'X' giving the daughter two bad 'X' chromosomes.
