Carrier testing
As the cause of cystic fibrosis is a faulty gene; therefore, it passes from parents to offspring. A person can have this gene without having any symptoms. If both parents are carriers, then the baby’s risk of having the disease increases to a great extent. Carrier testing is applied to check whether a person has a default gene. The doctors take a sample of the blood or can scrap the inside area of the cheek to get a sample of cells. If a person has a family member with this condition or the partner is a carrier, and then he should take the test.
