That is true. If both parents are carriers the chance of the baby having the disease is 25%.If only parent is a carrier, there is a 0 chance that the baby will have the disease.I guess the only problem with that is that the test they give won't pick up every person that carries the defective gene. I read they catch it from 80- 90% of the time. >I was under the impression that cystic fibrosis is a double recessive >disorder, meaning that although both parents are carriers the risk in >any one pregnancy is 25%...
