My 25 years old sister just found out that she is diagnose with cystic fibrosis.
I like to know if it’s easily transmittable so I don’t have to worry about myself. |

I had a relative who died of this.
 And no, it`s not contagious. It`s hereditary.

It's recessive and common among caucasions.. i did a lot of research on this in the past for a research paper and a presentation. just google it for more information. go to the doctor for these questions, i'm sure they can answer it better than we can. |
