A member asked:
Can a carrier of the cystic fibrosis gene ever be symptomatic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autosomal recessive: CF is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Complete expression of the disease (symptoms) do not typically occur in people who do not have both copies of the defective gene (carriers only have one).
