The most common CF gene mutation, Delta F508, causes the most common CF symptoms, but this mutation can vary in how severely it affects someone with CF.
There are more than 1,000 different mutations of the CF gene.Report this post

Yes it is a genetic condition. You are your husband can both be tested to see if you are Cystic Fibrosis carriers.
