Cystic fibrosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Our genes come in pairs, with one copy inherited from each parent.When both parents are carriers for a recessive disorder, each child has a 1 in 4 chance of inheriting the two changed gene copies.
If Jill’s Paternal Aunt is affected and her Paternal Grandparents are unaffected. There is a 2/3 probability her father is a Carrier
