Guest guest Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 There's no reason to think your husband is a carrier is there? I wonder what the odds are that he would be. Lori in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 The odds are 1 in 27...that is the incidence of CF carriers in the US. I know that seems like a lot to me, it seems surprising that more kids don't have CF...incidence of CF is 1 in 3000 or thereabouts. %^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^% mama to , 18 mo wCF and SZ Alpha, and , 3.5 yo SZ Alpha, no CF > -----Original Message----- > From: Lori Willner > > There's no reason to think your husband is a carrier is there?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 Both parents have to be a carrier to have a child w/CF. It can also be dormant in the family for many many many years.
