Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease. A carrier male is married to a carrier female. What is the chance they will have a child with cystic fibrosis?
If only one of you is found to be a carrier, the chance that you will have a child with CF is very low, although not completely eliminated. If you are both carriers, each pregnancy will have a 1 in 4, or 25 percent chance of being affected with cystic fibrosis.
