I recently learned that my 19 year old daughter is going to have a baby. She has gone to the ob-gyn and had the blood test done. Today the Doctor called to tell her she is a carrier for cystic fibrosis. He indicated the father of the baby needs to be tested. My daughter has been healthy all of her 19 years. Nothing out of the ordinary and never once did her pediatrician and now our family doctor indicate that she was a carrier. How can this be? I've read that this is hereditary but I don't know anyone in my family who has any history of it and I don't believe there is any history of it in her father's family either. Can some one explain to me what the chances are of her baby having cystic fibrosis. I'm a concerned mom and grandmother. (Mamaduh (talk) 23:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC))
