I know that it’s a autosomal recessive genetic disorder. You can check out the site below, maybe it’ll help you:

Cystic fibrosis is autosomal recessive which means that two carrier parents have a 25% chance of giving birth to a child with cystic fibrosis.
It is NOT sex-linked, but often leads to infertility due to the fact that the disease affects the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations on the CFTR gene, located on chromosome 7.
