Re: CF and stats on children with CF

None, if his spouse wasn't a carrier. If she is, then there is a 50/50

chance. Now all his childeren are guaranteed to be carriers. It's not an

ignorant question. Ya never know unless you ask.

If your child's spouse is NOT a carrier then their children could not

have CF. They would be carriers, however. If your child's spouse is

a carrier but does NOt have CF then they would have a 50% chance of

having CF. Both parents have to have at least one " bad " gene in

order for there to be a possibility that their children would have

CF. Hope that helps!

Same here ! Wyatt has CF (didn't know till after he was born and

had surgery for meconium illeus) Hunter does not have CF and is not a

carrier. (had an amnio to test him) Go figure, wish I had that

kind of luck in Vegas!
