Genetic Counselor Virginia Beach Genetics Counseling Service * Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. An inherited condition‚ cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus‚ sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery. But in cystic fibrosis‚ a defective gene causes the secretions to become thick and sticky. Cystic fibrosis signs and symptoms vary‚ depending on the severity of the disease

conditions to form‚ such as downs syndrome or cystic fibrosis (Royal College of Nursing‚ 2012). Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive and defective gene called CFTR (NHS Choices‚ 2012). This means that if both of the parents carry the gene‚ there is a 25% chance of the child having cystic fibrosis. If the child only inherits one of the genes‚ compared to two‚ they will only be a carrier and will remain unaffected (Stretch and Whitehouse‚ 2010).

Cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that is caused by a defective gene; cystic fibrosis affects the glands in the body that produce our bodily fluids. Cystic fibrosis is not very common in the UK as only 4% of the population are thought to be carrying this gene. The cystic fibrosis gene is a recessive

Prophase 1 of meiosis When prophase I occurs the chromosomal condensation enables the chromosomes to be looked at under the microscope. Then during late prophase I the homologous chromosomes laterally pair or usually side by side which is then known to be in synapsis this is when cross connections form from Breakage and re-joining between the chromatids which can occur between the pair homologous chromosomes which then lead to genetic combination between the strands which are there. Chiasma occurs

organisms. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK’s most common life-threatening inherited diseases. It is caused by a faulty gene that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of the cells within the body. Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs‚ especially the lungs and digestive system‚ by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. If two carriers have a child‚ the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of having Cystic Fibrosis. Each week

CFTR it’s stand for Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. This disease causes too much production of thick mucus‚ then the mucus will blocked the ion transport in epithelial cells that line the passageways of the lungs‚ pancreas‚ and other organs. If the passageways of the lungs is blocked by the thick mucus‚ it will make the sufferer
