Cystic Fibrosis experts come here?

In Cystic Fibrosis, what are the outcomes of a child being genetically born with it (1 in 5000) or whatever? What is it? Does anyone know? Is it equal?

Other Question: Does it occur more in males or females or kinda split down the middle?

Well cystic fibrosis in inherited in a autosomal recessive pattern, so two copies of a mutated gene must be present in order for the child to develop the disease. In other words, a child born to parents who *both* carry the gene would have a 1 in 4 chance of developing the disease, and a 50% chance of inheriting one gene, which would make the child a carrier, but they themselves would not have the disease.
So, it depends on whether both parents are carriers, have the disease themselves, or don't have the mutation at all.
The disease is split down the middle in terms of gender, but males with the disease tend to live longer than females.

The disease is most common on ppl w/ european heritage. it is caused by a recessive allele in chromosome 7.pp w/ this have digestive probs and heavy mucus that clogs their lungs and brerathing passages. ppl w/ this usaually use a neubelizer
