Question posed by MKM: A medical question on Cystic Fibrosis?
My niece who is 25 and recently found out she is 7 weeks pregnant has just been diagnosed as a carrier of cystic fibrosis, she has never had any symptoms of the disease my ?’s are,
How will this affect her child or could it, and how can a person be a carrier without any symptoms? Also there is now history at least on the mothers side.

Cystic fibrosis is what is called an “autosomal recessive” disease. This means that for your niece’s daughter to have CF, Dad would also have to be a carrier for CF OR have CF himself.
If Dad is neither a carrier nor a victim of CF, there is a possibility for the child to be a carrier of CF but this will not harm the child and it will not be an issue until it comes time for the child to have kids of his/her own.

A question asked by babie_racer_in: Could my medical problems be related to my carring of Cystic Fibrosis?
I have respiratory problems asthma, pneumonia(1 time), Bronchitis (4 times) and Chronic sinusitis even after sinus surgery. I also have arthritis and joint problems. I know I am a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis but I didn’t think that carriers are supposed to have any symptoms but I am only 25 and most people my age haven’t had this many respiratory problems with out other causes. Any one know anything about this?

Dont know for sure, but it is expensive. These patients require a lot of expensive meds just to keep them alive, and many end up getting lung transplants. You might call the American Lung Association or the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They probably have websites or look in the phone book.
