There's only one way to get cystic fibrosis,
you can only get it genetically. It's a recessive
disorder . Which means you could have the
disorder but not be aected by it, this is
known as an unaected carrier. A lot of
people don't know if they are a carrier of the
disorder until they have a child that has cystic
fibrosis.
This is a white dominant disorder stats show
1 in 2500-3500 Caucasian-Americans are
aected by the disorder 1 in 4000-10,000
