Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that occurs in about 1 in every 3000 live births of Caucasians (and only 1/17,000 African Amercian infants born) in the United States each year, making it the most common autosomal recessive genetic trait that is life threatening. The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, and a child must inherit one copy of the defective gene from each parent in order to get cystic fibrosis. There are over 700 different gene mutations that can cause cystic fibrosis, with the most common being delta F 508.
